To all Troop 170 members:
Earlier today, the Blue Grass Council announced that all council and district events will be postponed March 13 through March 31 because of the COVID-19 virus. “Decisions about unit meetings and activities SHOULD BE MADE BY UNIT LEADERSHIP and chartering organizations based on the unit’s individual circumstances and current CDC and local health department guidelines.”
As many of you may already know, the Pulaski County School System has decided to follow Gov. Andy Beshear’s recommendation to call off in-person classes starting Monday.
I have consulted with our Troop Committee Chair and all three Assistant Scoutmasters. As a result, out of an abundance of caution, Troop 170 WILL NOT have a regular Troop meeting on Monday, March 16, and we are CANCELING the planned backpack overnighter Saturday-Sunday, March 21-22.
However, Joey C’s Eagle Scout Project WILL BE HELD this Saturday, March 14, from Noon to 4 pm at his home, 276 Riffe Creek School Road, Dunnville, KY. Those who feel comfortable to participate are welcome to attend. Joey will be constructing two wooden park benches and refinishing one metal park bench. Please bring a cordless drill (charged) and work gloves. Food will be provided.
A decision on future meetings and activities by the Troop will be made at a later date based upon how things are going. Watch the Troop Calendar and your emails for updates.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Stay safe and healthy – and wash your hands regularly.
Dale Morton, Scoutmaster
Boy Scout Troop 170
