If your scout plans to go to Summer Camp (July 27-August 2) and you wish to receive the early-bird rate ($645), provide $100 deposit ($50 for adults) and merit badge choices before March 31 to Blaine Robinson (blainerobinson76@yahoo.com) . Final payments will be due later this spring in mid-May. The slides from the summer camp informational meeting and merit badge scheduled are attached.

It's time to sell tickets for the Applebee's pancake fundraiser on Saturday April 5 from 8-10am (arrive by 7:45am to setup). Signup here to ensure we have enough scouts to help out greeting, serving and cleaning. Every scout, whether you participate or not, is responsible for a minimum of 3 tickets ($10 each) and will need their own ticket - we encourage scouts to reach out to family and friends to join us for this fundraiser to benefit Carmel Troop 1. Guests can arrive anytime between 8-9:30am to be served a pancake breakfast that includes bacon, coffee and juice (yes, seconds are available).

Meeting at Drew Church 7pm Tuesday March 25, 2025    Please come in uniform and bring your scout handbook (if you have them)

Troop scouts and instructors will help the new scouts work on requirements towards Scout Rank.

Scouts need a variety of service hours for rank, merit badge and even school requirements. As we hear about potential opportunities we'll try to post them to the website - See "Service Hours" in the Menu along the left side of the page. Interested families may need to reach out to get more information or to let the group know that you will be attending to volunteer (remember to always copy a parent on emails). This is just a list of suggestions that we are aware of and are not organized by the Troop. If you are unsure if a volunteer opportunity would count as conservation-related service to satisfy certain requirements, please reach out to a Scoutmaster.

Sunday March 16th is Scout Sunday at Drew Methodist Church. All scouts are encouraged to attend if they can. Please wear your Class A Uniforms. We will meet inside the front lobby/narthex area of the Church on Sunday morning (arrive by 9:15am). After the service, Drew usually invites scouts and families to join them in the gym for coffee and snacks. 

Troop 1 is in Division 2, and our lineup area is located at the Joseph Smith Funeral Home parking lot (692 Route 6, Mahopac, NY 10541), a bit further down Route 6 past the fire station. Please arrive between 1:15-1:30 pm. Be prepared for the weather, wear your Class A uniform and any St. Patrick's additions are welcome!
