Troop 133/1033 - Monday 2/10/2025

Posted on Feb 9 2025 - 10:05pm

Troop Families,

Winter Camporee RSVPs: Please RSVP by noon today so scouts can make meal plans.
https://www.troop133indy.com/node/11161

Summer Camp Deposit: Thanks to those families who have RSVPed and paid the summer camp deposit. We've heard back from ~1/2 of the families.

Tonight: PLC 6:30pm, Troop Meeting 7:30pm

-----------------------------------------------------------------

P282/P200 Crossovers

P282 Crossover: Wednesday 2/19/25, 6:30pm at the Holt House.
P200 Crossover: Tuesday 2/25/25, 6:30pm at the Holt House.
Firecrafter scouts are needed to help with the ceremonies. RSVP if you plan to attend.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Recharter/Renewal Process

- Thanks to all for RSVPing for Recharter/Renewal! We got most of the scouts and adults through the system.
- However, there are several adults who do not yet appear on the Troop Roster via my.scouting. Most likely the issue is due to expiration of YPT (must be taken every two years). If you are on that list (Fackler, Hammes, Jessup, Kennedy, Lutes), please login to my.scouting and complete YPT to see if that will automatically renew you back into the Troop. If you take those steps, and it doesn't resolve the roster, let us know and we will follow up with the council office.
