Scouts, Families and Friends,
I am saddened to let you know that Mr. Paton a teacher at Transfiguration Academy and Mr. Kneisler, the recently retired Bergenfield DPW Superintendent, have each passed away in the last few days.
Many of our Scouts, past and present have had positive interactions with these fine men and they will be sorely missed. Please keep them and their families in your prayers.
Arrangements for Mr. Paton have not yet been made. Those for Mr. Kneisler have been made for Tuesday at Riewerts on Tuesday (2-4 PM and 7-9 PM)
Thanks!

Gordon,
Attached and below are all the answers to your inquiries. All responses are in RED.
1) GB: Do we have an agenda and draft schedule to review and compare to our calendars before the meeting?
a. Response: Our Calendar with our current meeting, fundraising and camping schedule is attached. It will be modified as needed as the year progresses.
b. Response: Judy and Diana will be speaking at the parent meeting primarily about medical forms, fundraising and dues.
2) GB: Also, could you send me the Troop email list that you are using so that I can update troop139 at mailman.qth.net<mailto:troop139 at mailman.qth.net><mailto:troop139 at mailman.qth.net<mailto:troop139 at mailman.qth.net>> email reflector? I updated the Troop 139 email list earlier in the summer, but don’t know of your changes. We should be using the reflector. You, Mr. Argueta, Mr. Gungil and Mrs. Daly are all administrators of the email reflector, but I am the one who seems to be keeping it up to date.
a. Response: Referring to your email of Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 1:16 PM, where you mentioned that you added the entire Troop list to your Troop 139 email list, all of these names are the same. There are no new emails to add.
b. Response: Please remove me, Diana, as an administrator of that email list. As I have mentioned in the past, I am not comfortable using that list to send out emails to the Scouts in the Troop and their parents that is confidential about Scout information. I don’t know all the people on it. Thank you.
GB: Also, a couple of scheduling notes:
3) GB: Carnival: Mr. Francis Argueta and I spoke the other day about distributing the posters for the Carnival. They are in Sue Gangemi’s office in the Rectory. We need to leave about six behind.
a. Response: Frank had discussed this with us already after your phone call with him last week. We had arranged for a pick up. The posters were picked up this evening. Posters will be hung up tomorrow and over the weekend. Ten posters were left behind in the St. John’s rectory.
4) GB: On the Sunday before the Carnival at 2:00 PM, we will need to set up the shelter for the Carnival and of course, on Saturday night, we will need to take it all down.
During the Carnival, we have an opportunity for Scouts to volunteer one hour of their time on any day BEFORE the Carnival starts.The starting times are 6 PMon Tuesday-Friday and 3 PMon Saturday. If Scouts could come an hour before, that would be great!Rides: Also, there is a change for wristband times. They are expanding wristbands to include Tuesday and Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon from 3-6 PM.It is a pay one price of $20 per day for unlimited rides.Regular ride tickets can also be bought BEFORE the Carnival at a discount. You can call (201.384.0101<tel:%28201.384.0101>.) or go to the Rectory for more information on that.
a. Response: Thank you for this information about the tickets, we can share it with the scouts.
b. Response: We had been waiting to hear from someone about what was happening with the needs of the Carnival. We will work on getting the scouts to assist with this event at the times you mention above.
5) GB: Eagle Scouts: We need to carefully watch to ensure that each Scout is not “aged out” and that they get their projects approved and done, along with the other administrative tasks.
a. Response: The committee and the assistant scoutmasters (especially John R, our advancement chair) have been working hard with the boys over that last 7 months who are up and coming to Eagle. As some of them were slipping through the cracks since we weren’t left with any information about who was doing what. At this time, we can only do so much for them and are now awaiting for either their already approved projects to be started or initial project proposals to be presented for approval.
b. Response:At this time:
i. Kofi’s project was approved on July 17, 2015 and we are waiting to hear from him on getting his project started and completed. (Someone will need to follow up with him as Diana has received no reply from him on her inquiry.)
ii. John’s project was approved on July 13, 2015. John is currently working on gathering the needed materials for his project. John Sr and Diana are following up with him.
iii. Proposals are pending from:
1. Sam (Mr. Sciame is working with Sam)
2. Joseph (Mrs. Daly is working with Joseph)
3. Reinier and Sergio (Diana is working with Reinier and Sergio)
iv. We are unaware of the current status of Dino’s project as he has been working primarily with you. So someone will need to follow up with him.
6) GB: We need to follow up to ensure that Sean has a Board of Review. I will check with him and Mr. Catalano on that.
a. Response: Before the Seiberts moved to Florida, we had spoken to Sean, Sandy and Jon and let them know that they could contact us if they had any delays or problems. No one has heard anything yet from any of them about this.
b. Response: Your follow up with Sean would be appreciated. Please the assistant scoutmasters know the outcome.
7) GB: Scout Retreat: It is still the 3rd weekend in October at Ross Dock.
a. Response: Yes, It is the October 16-18. We are aware of it and will be submitting all paperwork necessary for this when the time comes.
8) GB: We do need someone to attend the Catholic Committee on Scouting meetings in Kearny once each month.
a. Response: After receiving the email about the CCOS, I had asked Phil about this and he said that we don’t need to attend this. If still needed, please let the Committee Chair know so that he can discuss at the next committee meeting and appoint an attendee if needed.
9) GB: There is a need for an Ad Altare Dei and/or a Pius XII class, Let me know ASAP so that we can schedule time around the Church on Sunday nights for them.We will also need facilitators to assist with these classes.If any Scout is not Roman Catholic, we also need to address their religious award needs ASAP.
a. Response: We have discussed this at length already and started looking into who the contacts are for this so we could arrange. If you have contact information to share, that would be helpful. We look forward to hearing from you on this.
10) GB: United States Naval Academy STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Merit Badge Jamboree: The event is on Martin Luther King weekend in January, 2016.We need to register promptly when that comes out in early September.
a. Response: Yes, the STEM weekend is on our calendar and on our radar. They are not yet accepting registration as of last week.
11) GB: September, November and December Trips. These are unknown to me, but I am interested in knowing what is being discussed.
a. Response: As you know, the yearly calendar comes out in September. Monthly camping trips planned are listed on the attached calendar. These trips were discussed with the scouts on what they wanted to do as well as during committee meetings.
12) GB: There is a lot of need for Scout skill development
a. Repsonse: As we have been doing at our regular meetings, we will continue to work on to strengthening their MB work as well as getting them ready to participate in the November MB Fair at Conlon Hall. We will be also working and conditioning them on honing their Klondike skills for the 2016 event.
13) GB: Spring: While I am not sure about my availability for the Spring (possibly the same as the last several years, possibly better), we need to map out those events as well.
a. Response: Monthly camping trips planned are listed on the calendar. These trips were discussed with the scouts on what they wanted to do as well as during committee meetings.
I hope this information is helpful in catching you up to speed.
