Makes sure your Scout reads this message as well.
Mrs. Viger has scheduled an important guest speaker to visit with us. Tomorrow night, George Christmann of the Three Rivers District Advancement will be attending our meeting to discuss Eagle Scout Service Projects and Advancement in general. As you aware, this is our second meeting in a row that we will be discussing these important components of your Scouting journey, so please make every effort to attend and be on time.
Once Mr. Christmann is complete we will continuing our meeting. If you would like to complete additional requirements for your Public Speaking Merit Badge please respond to me at troop138paramus@gmail.com as to what you are prepared to do. Most of our Scouts have already completed Requirements #1 and #3 (see below) over the last two meetings.
Give a three- to five-minute introduction of yourself to an audience such as your troop, class at school, or some other group.
Prepare a three- to five-minute talk on a topic of your choice that incorporates body language and visual aids.
Give an impromptu talk of at least two minutes, either as part of a group discussion or before your counselor. Use a subject selected by your counselor that is interesting to you but that is not known to you in advance and for which you do not have time to prepare.
Select a topic of interest to your audience. Collect and organize information about this topic and prepare an outline. Write an eight- to 10-minute speech, practice it, then deliver it in the conversational way.
If we do not receive any interest in delivering a speech, Mr. Lempenau will be providing an overview of the Roberts Rules of Order (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%27s_Rules_of_Order) Robert’s Rules is a framework that is comprised of a set of codes and rules of ethics that helps groups hold orderly meetings that allow the majority to rule while allowing minority voices to be heard.
The Scoutmaster will be late to the meeting, so Mr. Lempenau, assisted by Mr. Mosca, will be running things until his arrival.

Wear your uniform with pride
Schedule in advance Scoutmaster conferences and Boards of Review

You must meet with the Scoutmaster and receive a blue card (virtually/physically) prior to starting a Merit Badge
