Saturday, March 7, will offer two opportunities for service:

Cumberland Falls PRIDE Cleanup

Troop 170 will be participating in the annual Cumberland Falls PRIDE Cleanup. Scouts interested in participating should be at East Somerset Baptist Church at 7:30 am. We will be cleaning along a 3-mile section of roadway.

All participants must have a signed consent form (available from Mr. Vanover).

Wear your Class A T-shirt (if you earned one from popcorn sales) or a Scout-related T-shirt, boots or sturdy shoes (no open-toe shoes allowed), and bring a pair of work gloves. Bring water that can be carried with you as you are cleaning up, and pack a few snacks and/or a simple lunch that does not require staying cold.

Facemasks required for the drive to and from work site.

Cross-over Ceremony

We will be welcoming new Scouts to the Troop at a Webelos Cross-over Ceremony that will take place immediately following the Lake Cumberland District Pinewood Derby.

Scouts interested in participating should be at the Eubank Park Picnic Shelter by 11:45 am in full Class-A uniform (including neckerchief).

If you are interested in participating in a virtual 5K (3.1-mile) run/walk/hike, please let Scoutmaster Dale Morton know at Monday’s Troop meeting. The cost for the patch is $5 (for a registered Scout or leader) and $10 per non-Scout participant.

The registration form will be mailed on Tuesday. You will then receive an assigned number, which can be printed off. Take a photo of yourself completing the 5K and we will post it on the Blue Grass Council’s Facebook page. We will have until May 1 to complete the 5K. (FYI – there will be a 5-mile hike on our April campout, so that will meet the requirements.)

As a friendly reminder today the troop will be helping Jack W earn his sign signal and codes merit badge. All scouts and crew are welcome to attend but it’s not mandatory.  Those who do attend please bring some water, wear comfortable shoes, and your Class A shirt. This is a fun 1 mile hike behind Somerset Community, College. We will be meeting at 3:30 pm at the entrance to the trail.

The address is Somerset Community College, 808 Monticello St., Somerset, KY 42501. Turn east at US27 at traffic light #16. The nature trail is located at the back of the campus.
