Visitors
Welcome to Troop 736
Our Troop home is at St. Michael's Church at 4491 Springfield Road in Glen Allen, VA.
We meet on Thursday evening from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.
Traditionally, We hold our annual Open House during the second week of October. However, anyone looking to become a member of our Troop is welcome and encouraged to visit us during any normally scheduled Troop meeting. Please contact our scoutmaster in advance to schedule a visit.
I am honored to announce our new Scoutmaster Elect, Mr. Michael Lynch. Mr. Lynch is one of the pioneers of Troop 736 and he has big plans for the troop. I ask all scouts and their families to give a cheer for Mr. Lynch and lend a hand to his mission. This is a boy run troop but the boys can't do it without the guidance and support of their family. Stay tuned for more details.
Our charter organization, St. Michael's, has arranged to have a special church service on the Fourth of July, and the scouts of Troop 736 have been invited to attend and participate.
Provisional camping - If you are unable to attend Summer Camp with Troop 736, there is a 2nd opportunity to attend. One of our leaders is working with another Troop in the Petersburg area and has room for upto 8 additional Scouts at Camp T. Brady Saunders during the week of 7/5/2009. There is more information within the content of this message, so log-in and get the details.
The United Way allocation supporting the council's inner city program known as ScoutReach will fall from $95,220 to $20,000 annually. The 2008-2009 allocation had already been reduced by $3,170 following last fall's United Way campaign season. We anticipated a sharp reduction, but did not know it would be nearly the entire allocation. We still receive donor designations which are budgeted at $122,000 this year.
"This is Scouting" replaces New Leader Essentials as a required course for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing volunteers to earn the "Trained" leader emblem. Districts should eliminate New Leader Essentials from all training calendars and add a link to http://MySouting.org.
