Dear Scouts and Parents,
Traditionally, I would say Merry Christmas, of course I am aware not all of us celebrate Christmas, but this is a festive time and as Scouts and as a Scout family we can come together and say to each other enjoy the holidays whatever you celebrate.
I would like to share a story with you that illustrates, just how great our Scout program is and why I am so proud to be a part of this program. A man came to the Church seeking help. He had just lost his job, he had five kids, ages, 10 to 2 and wanted to know if he could get some assistance.
Father Bonney, the assistant priest called me and asked could we do something. I told him to let the man go through our collection box and have him take some toys from there. I told him to tell the man to come back on Christmas Eve right before the service and we would have more.
Thanks to you and your donation of toys we were able to initially help the man and his five kids. I met him on Christmas Eve right before the Christmas Eve service at
The man had one other request. He wanted to know if he could get a gift card to a supermarket. He said since his lost his job his kids had not had a good meal. We were able to help with some donations for food.
Thank for you making such a thing possible. This could not have happen without you. As the new year comes in I look for us to help touch the lives of more people.
Yours in Scouting,

Fwd: Merit Badge Counselors - BOY SCOUTS

Hello Leaders,
Once a Boy Scout reaches the rank of First Class, advancement is up to his initiative. To earn any additional rank up to including Eagle he has to earn merit badges.
If you are new to Scouting and don't know what merit badges are, they are awards for demonstrating knowledge or skill in a particular area. They are like college courses where some are hard and some are difficult.
Like college courses Scouts have to earn certain required merit badges to become Eagle. In total he must earn 21, eleven are required. The remainder are those of his choosing.
There are more than 100 merit badges covering just about every subject imaginable. Attached is a listing of the current merit badges. If you go to the website www.meritbadge.com you can find the requirements for each merit badge.
To earn a merit badge a Scout must complete the requirements as prescribed by the merit badge pamphlet. He then must consult a counselor who will review his work. Prior to this, the Scout comes to me or one of the other Scoutmasters and we will give him a blue card which is sort of a permission slip saying he can test for the merit badge.
Once the counselor is satisfied that the all of the requirements have been completed, the counselor signs the card. It is returned to us and we then record it and award the Scout the merit badge normally at an awards ceremony.
To become a merit badge counselor you can read the requirements at www.colbsa.org and to go to Advancement and then go to Boy Scout Advancement and the to Merit Badge Program and then to Become a Merit Badge Counselor.
However, right now if you are interested, I can sign you up by you simply telling me what merit badges you feel you are qualified to be a counselor for. As an example, my prior aviation training qualifies me to be a counselor for the Aviation Merit Badge. Mr. Beauvais would be natural fit for the Citizenship Merit Badges and the Law Merit Badge.
Mr. Joel Wilson would be an excellent candidate for the Computer Science and Entrepreneur Merit Badge. While there is no limit on the number of merit badges a counselor may be qualified to sign off, I would recommend no more than six to seven.
You can have your option to be a counselor for just our Scouts or you can sign up to be a counselor for any Scout in the district. I can provide more detail at our leaders meeting on Saturday, but review the merit badge list that is attached and let me know if you are interested. Mr. AW has informed me that I can register without the headache of all the normal paperwork if I can get your name in time.
There is a critical need for an ample supply of merit badge counselors and in my capacity as the chairperson for the District on merit badge counselors, I would appreciate your support if you sign up to be a counselor.
Thanks
Yours in Scouting,
J.R. Brockman Scoutmaster Troop 133 609-381-9981 http://phillyscouts133.blogspot.com/

Fwd: BRING TOYS FOR ST. BARNABAS

Subject: BRING TOYS FOR ST. BARNABAS
Dear Scouts and Parents,
In my haste to get information out I had a typo regarding toys for St. Barnabas. The correction is
YES, PLEASE BRING TOYS FOR ST. BARNABAS ON SATURDAY 18 DECEMBER.
Unfortunately I do not have a specific list, but their ages range from infant to teen. With your gift please specify if it is for a girl or boy and the age. Please think of something for the older teen age girls who often are forgotten about.
Gift cards to Target may be an appropriate alternative. If for some reason you cannot bring your gift on Saturday then bring it Christmas eve. St. Thomas will have Christmas Eve service on Friday starting at 7:00 p.m. I plan to collect up toys that parishioners bring in and deliver them to St. Barnabas that night after service. You can bring your toys anytime that day on Friday.
Thank you and I apologize for any confusion.
Yours in Scouting,

Dear Scout Family,
It is with regret that I report to you another sad event in the life of Webelos Scout Sam Neubauer. Just recently Sam’s grandfather passed away. This was the father of Ms. Lori Morse, Sam’s mother. Sam and his family will be traveling to
Just earlier this year, Sam’s father passed away. I know you will join me in offering your prayers and sympathy for Sam and his family. Continue to keep them in your prayers. I have reached out to Ms. Morse and told her with great sincerity that if there was anything she thought that we could do to help to ask with out hesitation.
Lacking verse or prose at this time, I can only say look upward and then bow our heads and thank God for the blessings that we have and ask that he comfort Sam and his family at this hour and in the days to come. May we step closer to one another and offer what we can to be of service to those of us who need our help.
Thank you,
Yours in Scouting,
