All,
Please read through carefully!
Several reminders & updates regarding the coming weeks:
Thursday 7/9/09 - 7:00PM - normal Troop meeting. Headcount may be low as many families are away or have other commitments (Mr. Calderwood, Mr. Gaston, & our SPL - Matt H., etc.) We (Scouts & leaders) will be reviewing the status of Summer Camp MB prerequisites. Everyone should be nearing completion. If you need letters for counselors - I would expect all requests THIS WEEK. Scouts need to return tents, tarps, chef kits, etc from last two trips (Archery & Rowland Family Camp). Many items are are missing so check your garages & sheds. I have lists for both trips & I will be following up on this. Scouts that reviewed First Aid with Chris B. during previous trip can be tested & signed off. Please come prepared (that means bring your books & brains).
Thursday 7/13/09 - Mandatory Summer Camp Meeting for Scouts & Adults (especially 1st year attendees). I apologize for the change, however my schedule changed & I am not available & will not be at the Thursday 7/23/09 Troop Meeting. Final review of prerequisites & last chance for letters.
Monday 7/20/09 - Parent Meeting - Highly recommend attendance from all Parents with Scouts attending Summer Camp. We will discuss Summer Camp rules (i.e., no cell phones, etc.). We also need to discuss annual Troop dues, as Council has increased costs. We need to establish plans for Sept. Rifle trip, Descant Picnic, & return to Scouting date (9/3 or 9/10). For the Rifle Trip - i need to get invites sent to Cub Scout Packs for Webelos II's.
Thursday 7/23/09 - Troop Meeting - Mr. Gaston & Mr. Woywod will not be present - need Leaders - please let me know if you are available. This is final meeting prior to Summer Camp. Last minute details for Summer Camp to be addressed.
Sunday 7/26/09 - Leave for Summer Camp - more info on time to follow (assume 9:30AM-10:00AM - ish). Scouts will need a packed lunch.
Misc:
Headcount/money for any/all parents & siblings wishing to attend Summer Camp Family BBQon Sunday 7/26 is due this week (2 weeks prior). Please let me know so that we can purchase tickets.
Please respond to our Eagle Scouts requests regarding availability to assist with Eagle Projects. This includes Jacob S. at Deer Park (8/14-8/16) We need headcount ASAP - please. Jacob is planning this trip & your prompt responses would be welcome. There will be no fee associated with this trip, as Jacob has factored that into the cost of his project.
Please keep an eye on your inboxes for information from Bobby R. regarding his Eagle Project.
Scouts - please continue to work on prerequisites - there is no reason to return from Summer Camp with a partial MB.
NEW ITEM: Please provide a copy of Scout's medical insurance card for Summer Camp. Place copy in envelope with Scout's name clearly labeled & turn into Mrs. Biehl or myself.
Thank you all for staying informed!!!
