WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MAY 10TH, 2026 TROOP MEETING MONDAY @ 7:00 PM Our next Troop meeting is Monday at 7:00 pm! Uniform is Class A with Class B underneath. We also want to say Happy Mother's Day to all our Scout moms. None of what we do would be possible without your choosing to have Troops 65 & 1265 be your Scouting home. As the saying goes, behind every successful Scout is a mom who believed in the Scout before they believed in themselves! □ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS BELOW □ OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS... SUBSCRIBE TO TROOP 65 CALENDAR HERE LAST CALL BACKPACKING TRIP MAY 15-17 | ROAN HIGHLANDS, NC/TN NEW DETAILS BELOW! We're less than a week away from our backpacking trip to the Appalachian Trail in the Roan Highlands. Here are a few important reminders for those attending: Please review the packing list and itinerary at the link to the right. Gear shakedown: Moved from Thursday to Wednesday, still 7:00–9:00 PM. If this is your scout's first backpacking trip, or if you want to make sure everything is packed correctly, please bring their pack to the shakedown. Weather update: The current forecast looks great, with temperatures in the low 60s during the day and mid-50s at night. Since forecasts can change quickly, please keep checking for updates throughout the week. Each scout should bring their own meals: 2 breakfasts 1 lunch 1 dinner Meal suggestions: For breakfast and dinner, backpacking meals like Mountain House or Backpacker's Pantry work well and can be found at Walmart, Academy Sports, or REI. For lunch, please avoid meals that require boiling water. Better options include granola bars, crackers, cheese or peanut butter, and jerky. At Monday's meeting, we'll finalize tent assignments and divide tent parts among tent mates to help share the weight. If your scout is going on the trip but will not be at Monday's meeting, please let me know so we can plan accordingly.
