IMPORTANT!  All scouts needed for the Order of the Arrow elections; must have troop scouts present for the election ceremony and voting.  OA scout members from Troop 36B and 815 will be present for the election in Class A uniform.  Troop 216 OA Members are to wear Class A with their OA sash.  Questions?  Please contact ASM Mr Behzad and Scout Weston, both OA members.

For your Scout's safety, please do not drop off your scout.  Make sure there are at least TWO REGISTERED ADULTS in the MPR.  Stay with your scout until you see TWO REGISTERED ADULTS in the MPR.  Thank you!

Troop 216 and Pack 53 worked together last weekend in the placement of the door hangers.  This Saturday, Nov 14th, troop scouts are needed for the collection of the food.  Please wear CLASS A, as this is a Scouting BSA event.

The troop will head to Camp Royaneh in 2027!  July 11th - 17th. Royaneh is located about 2.5 miles south of the town of Cazadero in Sonoma County on the Cazadero Hwy.  Sign up and pay your deposit to Troop 216, to secure your spot.  This group will need at least 3 adults; so please consider joining this group for the entire week or part of the week.  

Though not mandated via the national organization, Troop 216 will be implementing a new policy for the upcoming academic year where all registered scouts will require at least one adult registration (guardian, parent, caretaker) per family. There will be no exceptions. If a family has multiple registered scouts within the troop, at least one adult application is needed.

This policy will help ensure a smooth process for spurious participation in any scout-facing activity that includes outings, service projects, overnight camps, etc. Furthermore, this will enable the troop to more quickly engage adult volunteers as needed.

Adult applications/registrations take place via the same portal where youth scout registrations take place on my.scouting.org. Please designate Troop 216 as your unit (if you have children in Cub Packs please submit Troop 216 as "multiple units" designation). Adult applications by default will require Safety for Youth Training (SYT) along with background checks, all handled online via the same my.scouting.org website.

Alternatively, please use this link to complete an adult application for T216

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy change, please text or call me at 415-525-2787.

Thanks,

Kevin, T216 CC

Troop 216 relies on their trained adults for all of the outings offered to the scouts.  Please check out the upcoming training sessions, and become a Trained Adult!  New adults should take Intro to Outdoor Leader Skills Training Part #1 and #2.  Adults leading Summer High Adventures should take Wilderness First Aid and specific trainings for that high adventure (listed on their website).
