Remarks: BYO Hand Sanitizer and Face Mask
Description: Some of the scouts in our troop are working on the Astronomy merit badge and have been learning their way around the night sky. This Saturday is International Observe the Moon Night and they've chosen to participate by hosting an observing session for the Troop.We'll have at least 3 telescopes available, and possibly some binoculars, along with some literature. The scouts will be running the scope stations and acting as your guides and will try to answer any questions you have.
The meeting location will be at Shore Road Park and is public which means we may have people outside our troop stopping by. I would like troop members to wear their Class A uniform as a way to identify ourselves clearly to the general public.
Location is here: https://goo.gl/maps/e26pbvi83R987ijh9
Please bring your own hand sanitizer and face mask. Masks are required when actually using the scopes since you'll be putting your face up next the equipment and breathing on it. Recommended practice is to use the hand sanitizer before and after touching the equipment. That's overkill, but overkill on a virus is a good thing :-)

Description: PLEASE CONTACT D.J. DIRECTLY TO REGISTER at dj_huie@yahoo.comDue to Covid-19 constraints, D.J. Need to manage participation. He will be asking you which shift(s) you can come to.

And don't forget the time change Saturday night/Sunday morning.
We will be painting on Dyker Park on 14th Ave and 86th St sides. The fences have peeling off paint and rusting. I am looking to removing any loose old paint and putting a new coat of paint. We will have to paint 5,039 square feet of fence. I will have a morning team to clear the weeds, take off the loose old paint and preparing everything stations to provide everyone a safe way to get the supplies to paint during Covid-19 and I will have an another team just to paint. People form either teams can participate in both teams.

Camping Overflow!
- Start time: 08:00pm
- End date: Sunday, November 15th
- End time: 12:00pm
-
Remarks: Camping! Overflow for main event
Description: Camping at Alpine, combination of lean-tos and single-person tents.If we have more than the maximum 25 for a group, we will split the group. ONLY REGISTER HERE IF YOU WERE BLOCKED FROM THE MAIN EVENT.
Morning hike, afternoon TBD, scout skills, and cooking. Always cooking :-)
Arrival/transportation is on your own, meet in the parking lot at Alpine by 8 pm on Friday, pickup at 11 am on Sunday. The troop has to check-in before anyone can go directly to the site, but if you expect to arrive significantly later than 8 pm, that's an option. Note that with sunset happening early, you *will* be getting to the site after dark.
Our site is the Bates 1 lean-to site, there are 7 lean-tos plus space for tents. We would normally have up to 6 scouts in a lean-to but expect to sleep at most 3 in each for this trip to allow better spacing. We have enough 2-persons tents (which will be used to sleep only one person) to accommodate all of the troop once combined with the lean-tos.
Exact Site Location: https://bit.ly/33QAchW
General Camp Alpine Information: https://alpinescoutcamp.org/
Cost is our "standard" $20/scout for the trip, $10 of which is for the patrol budge for meals. The patrol will need to work out the meal plan and shoppers via online meetings. Parents, we usually push the older scouts to take the lead on this, and will do so for this trip, but they may need some additional support due to covid restrictions.
For meals, each patrol will need to have a plan for 3 meals on Saturday, and for Sunday breakfast. All scouts (and adults) should bring their own meal for Friday night, or eat before arrival.
The troop will provide stoves, fuel, cleaning supplies. Scouts should bring their own mess kits which can be as simple as a plate, utensils, and cup, as appropriate for your meal plan.
The site is approximately 1/2 mile from the parking lot. A backpack is the preferred way to carry your gear to the site, if you don't have one, you are strongly urged to begin shopping for a real backpack, not a book bag. I don't have anything suitable for small scouts (under 5 foot), but have a couple I might be able to loan for scouts over that height. Please use the parents list (or scouts list, as appropriate) on groups.io for questions/comments and sharing tips.
The weather in November can range from balmy 60s to frigid 20s. We've had November trips where shorts were appropriate and some where it it snowed, and some where shorts were appropriate and then it snowed. So watch the weather forecast and pack appropriately. We will have time both in patrol meetings and in the general troop time for Q&A and planning.
