Dear Troop 162 Scouts and Families,

After much deliberation, troop leadership has decided to cancel the 2021 Seabase trip. We feel that the uncertain situation regarding the pandemic creates too much uncertainty and risk. Seabase has published their Covid-19 protocol which can be found on-line:

We are planning a covid- friendly Court of Honor, so please wear your mask and bring a folding chair for additional seating. We will also be ordering individually wrapped sandwiches from Nardelli's and we have attached a link for you choice of sandwich for all scouts and their families.

On June 6th, we will build a 65 foot wooden boardwalk in Koons Preserve to help prevent injury to members of our community, which can occur while crossing slippery, muddy terrain. This new section of raised boardwalk will cross a seasonally wet area and will help prevent injuries.

Scouts and Parents,

The Southbury Land Trust is helping scouts earn service hours (and parents are welcome to help) this Saturday morning February 29th from 9:30-12:30 at Platt Farm. If some scouts will get there a little later or need to leave early, that works too. They can still work 2 service hours.
I strongly encourage scouts to look in their books to see if the need service hours for rank up.

Bring gloves, loppers, clippers and weed wacker (with a blade if you have one)
We will be clearing along the fence line and cleaning up. Dress for the weather and bring a water bottle.

There is a parking area where we will meet.
I attached a partial map from Platt Farm and marked the parking area on the side of the road with a green highlighter, and the gate I will open for more parking.
