IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON HATCHER'S PASS
INFORMATION UPDATE AS OF 8 FEB 2021:
- First and foremost, we will be meeting tonight in person! Our Scouts camp in this weather we can do an hour and a half. Please though make sure they are dressed warm. Also please make sure they have a mask. With the uptick in cases in the schools that the Matsu is dealing with right now, your Scout will be asked to go home if they do not have a mask.
o Please bring any and all gear that you have that belongs to Troop 300. There is gear missing and we are wanting to get all the gear returned and locked in the shed where it belongs.
o We will be going over fire building, snowshoe relay (please bring shoes if you have some) and ice fishing. If your Scout is signed up to teach any of these events please make sure they are at the meeting, or that they contact their PL so a replacement can be found.
- February Fishing Derby, 26-28 Feb – As of now, we only have a couple Scouts signed up for this event. Again, if your Scout is going to attend please email all three email addresses sent in the newsletter to ensure all Committee members that need to know, know who plans to attend. Next Monday, the 15th is the cutoff to sign up for this event, as we need to pay council for our portion. At that time, we will decide whether the event will go on, depending on how many are signed up. The boys wanted to go to Gorsuch for this, Council asked to keep this lake available for Eagle River/Anchorage Troops, since there are limited lakes there, next choice was Matanuska Lake in Palmer, per Alaska State Parks, that one is a no because their contract was up so they are not allowing anyone to camp there. The third lake was Finger Lake, which is most likely the lake we will be camping at since the Parks service will allow us there, I am just waiting on a call back on Wednesday from them.
- Please get signed up for Curry, 4-7 March as well by emailing the same individuals, if your scout plans on going. This trip will be the weekend immediately following the fishing derby.
- As the weather starts to warm up, our Troop will hopefully start to get busier. We will have events where gear is needing to be used. Please make sure that you are returning gear in a timely manner after events so they can be used on future events. Also Please make sure you are not going in the shed and just grabbing gear, make sure a Quartermaster is present to sign the gear out properly.
