Save the date if your scout wants to attend Nor Cal Advance O Rama (formerly Advance Camp)!  SEPTEMBER 26th.  At least 2-adults are needed for troop scouts to attend.  If the troop doesn't get 2-adults signed up BEFORE registration opens, the troop will not be able to attend.  Eagle Merit Badges fill up quickly!  If your scout wants to attend an Eagle MB session, make sure you are prepared to sign them up when registration opens.  Plus consider being one of the attending adults.  Details will come out as the troop receives further details. Sign up on the troop website, if interested in attending. Troop will contact you once a we hear when Advance O Rama registration date is announced. 

Are you ready for the ultimate scouting challenge? It's time to gear up for our 2027 backpacking expedition to Philmont Scout Ranch!

Slots are limited, and interest is always high, so don't wait to secure your spot for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. June 14-June26, 2027. Check out details and sign up on the troop website! Troop needs commitment from Scouts and Adults as soon as possible.

Scouts and families, please be aware that all scouts must don Class A uniforms during scheduled Board of Reviews (BORs) and Scoutmaster Conferences (SMCs). Additionally, please note that scouts can only schedule for one or the other, not both, during the same troop meeting. Please contact advancement chairs Lauren Brosnan or Angelus Cheung for additional information at laurenbrosnan@gmail.com and angelus.cheng@gmail.com, respectively.

T216 families, please ensure that your national scouting.org membership is current and/or you have automatic renewal activated. MOST FAMILIES HAD THEIR REGISTRATION SET TO EXPIRE BY THE END OF DECEMBER or BEGINNING OF JANUARY. Each family is responsible for their scout's membership. Please note that the National membership IS SEPARATE from your local T216 dues. National membership is required for all scouts and for all adults who have any type of interaction with Scouts; Troop Meetings, BoRs, Outings, Summer Camps, MB Counselor.

SCOUTS that want to work on Community or Conservation Service projects that are NOT TROOP ORGANIZED. Please READ, fill out and get signatures on these Individual Service Project Forms, BEFORE you complete the project.

CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR SCOUT BROUGHT ANY TROOP CAMPING EQUIPMENT HOME AFTER LAST WEEKEND'S OUTING. If yes, please help them clean and return to the Troop Scout Quartermaster during an upcoming Troop Meeting.

The troop asks for your support in getting this accomplished, so it can continue providing equipment during monthly outings. Further details are located on the troop website; far left column, "Returning Troop Equipment".
