As a way to give back to Saint Ambrose, Troop 5 meets periodically to help maintain the grounds on the west side of the church.  We will be meeting on Saturday, July 31st at 10:00 a.m. ,on the west side of building, to weed and clean up the grounds.  This is open to everyone who is available to help.  Bring work gloves and small gardening tools (to help remove weeds).  You will be credited with 2 hours of service if you attend.  Any questions please contact Mr. Young.

Meeting in Fellowship 4

Final Planning before Summer Camp. 

Troop will be checking to see if everyone has the following completed:

Scoutmaster Benke announced at the June 7th meeting that Troop 5 will start meeting at Saint Ambrose on a regular basis.  We will, as a general rule, meet in the Music Room by the Gym .  Check the school doors for entry - if locked -  enter through Oehlke Commons and proceed down the hallway closest to the Church Office.  This will bring you to the school hallway that leads back to the gym. (go to your left)  For the summer months we will still be meeting on Monday nights, check calendar for room location.  Starting in September the PLC - Parent Meetings and Troop Meetings will be moved to Tuesday nights. Starting times will remain the same.

Troop 5 has a summer uniform policy.  Scouts may wear Class B uniform (t-shirt) to all meetings and outings from June 1st to September 1st. The exceptions are Court of Honors and Board of Reviews - Class A (tan shirt) must be worn during these meetings.  A Class B uniform is described as any Scout related t-shirt or any t-shirt with a patriotic theme.  If the shirt doesn't relate to scouting or patriotism it is not appropriate!
