Hi Folks! 
 
We have a couple of good things to complete this week as we prepare for our 
summer activities: 
 
1.	Merit Badge selection for camp and for general advancement.  Camp 
Turrell is scheduled for Sunday, July 29 to Saturday, August 4th. 
 
All Scouts and adults attending camp are required to have a completed BSA 
medical form and a physical in the 365 days prior to the last day of either 
Camp Turrell or Floodwood.  There is no fee for adult attendance at camp, 
but there will be assigned duties for all adults participating.  This may 
include Scout Leader Training for a few hours each day while in camp. 
 
  
 
2.	We need to completely resolve any discords in record-keeping for 
advancement between the BSA National ScoutNet database and TroopMaster 
database maintained by the Troop. 
 
  
 
3.	June Newsletter articles and announcements need to be completed by 
this week's meeting for inclusion in the Church bulletin this Sunday 
(Father's Day) and it is an ideal opportunity to spread the word about the 
Troop. 
 
  
 
4.	Mr. Sciame, Mr. Gungil and I will be meeting with our Senior Patrol 
Leader, Dino Landaverde to discuss Troop organization and activities, so 
Scouts are encouraged to provide any suggestions and program ideas to Dino 
this week. 
 
  
 
5.	Our June Fishing Trip/Campout to Campgaw Reservation is scheduled 
for June 22-24 in Mahwah. 
 
Mrs. Daly needs to know who is attending ASAP. 
 
  
 
6.	Mr. Sciame made a poignant presentation at our Court of Honor about 
the need for trained Scout Leaders, Merit Badge Counselors, and Troop 
Committee members and a cleanup of outstanding finances.  Please see Gordon 
Beattie (201.314.6964) about what is involved in Scout Troop Leadership and 
Merit Badge Counselors opportunities and see Phil Sciame (201.384.3553) 
about Committee Membership and financial issues. 
 
  
 
7.	Our Troop Room cleanup project is set for Tuesday and Wednesday, 
June 26 & 27.   
 
These two days will provide us with an opportunity to clean up and organize 
items across two evenings. 
 
  
 
8.	The Adirondack trip is now slated for the latter part of the summer. 
We need to settle on which week is best for all concerned in the next week 
or so.  How does the Sunday, August 15th after the Hamfest (Saturday 8/14) 
sound to folks?  Should it be later in the summer? 
 
  
 
9.	The Troop 139 70th Anniversary Dinner is scheduled for September 
15th in Conlon Hall.  We need to get a Committee together to help organize 
this program and to engage Troop alumni and their families as well. 
 
  
 
10.	Eagle Project Statuses 
 
a.	Alex Slaughter is awaiting confirmation on an extension for his 
Eagle Project.  I granted and approved, he will need some assistance to 
complete the project. 
b.	Justin Miller will need some help in identifying and staffing some 
small additional Food Drive events to support his Eagle Project 
c.	Jeremy Beattie's project will need one more construction and testing 
day and/or evening and then he will need to engage the Red Cross for a 
deployment test. 
d.	Charlie Dewey will need some adult review of his project proposal, 
so that it can be moved forward to the District Advancement Committee. 
e.	Arslan Gungil and Eisen Villaluna are just getting organized to 
define their Eagle Projects and will need project ideas. 
 
  
 
11.	 We will have a meeting on Tuesday, July 3rd and we need to discuss 
possible programs for July 10, 17 and 24.  We do need to complete pre-camp 
Merit Badge paper work and also work out Patrols and other leadership 
positions.   
 
  
 
Yours in Scouting! 
Thanks & 73, 
 
Gordon Beattie, W2TTT
