"Derek Porter of BSA Troop 104 in Scotch Plains, has been elected as the National Chief, the top elected youth position, in the Order of the Arrow of the Boy Scouts of America. He beat out 42 others who ran for election on Dec. 27 and becomes the first youth National Officer from New Jersey's Patriots’ Path Council."

We are continuing to introduce small in-person patrol-sized events.  Here are two of interest to Scouts who have joined over the last 14 months:

• Monday 4/12: In-person "investiture ceremony" for Members of the Ice Dragons (2020 joiners) who never had an in-person investiture.
• Monday 4/19: In-person "investiture ceremony" for New Scout patrol members (2021 joiners)

On both evenings, the Scouts will arrive at All-Saints between 7:00 and 7:15 for a small social gathering -- just for their patrol.  Around 7:30 we will simulcast the Investiture Ceremony over Zoom to the rest of the Troop.  Afterwards, the scouts will return home and participate in the rest of the Troop Meeting via Zoom. Masks and moderate distancing protocols will be followed.

In light of ongoing and increasing concerns about the COVID-19 outbreak, Boy Scout Troop 104 is suspending all large group activities until further notice (at least through the end of March).  This includes weekly Troop meetings, our Court of Honor, and the March Camping trip.

Generally we do not have a Troop meeting when there is no school.

However, in this case, we believe that the snow will be finished for at least 12 hours, so we have elected to have an optional meeting. By optional, we mean that the leaders will be there, and any scouts whose parents feel that they can safely get the boys to and from the meeting should bring them. Many scouts wish to have scoutmaster conferences and Boards of Review for the upcoming Court of Honor happening on 3/18 so we'd like to get as many done on 3/4 as we can. There will be no attendance taken, and no repercussions for missing the meeting -- safety comes first. But we'd love to see you if you can safely attend.
