Hello All,
A few reminders/updates:
Pizza Fundraiser Sales - Orders are due next Thursday (6/3). If you are going on 8th Grade Canada Trip, please make arrangements to drop off prior - just in case you don't make next week's meeting.
If you brought home items to clean from this past weekend's Archery Trip - please return them tomorrow night - assuming that they were cleaned. If not, it's not a problem to extend another week.
If you haven't paid for Archery, please be prepared to do so tomorrow.
Originally we were planning a knot tying competition for tomorrow night, but time may not allow for this. We will postpone until June 17 or possibly 24th. Tomorrow night we need to go through all Patrol Totes from the trailer & shed to organize everything. This will include re-labeling totes, chef kits, mess kits, etc. The old Patrol names are still on equipment & it was apparent on the last two trips that we must rectify this, so that current Patrols know which equipment is their responsibility. Not only that, but the totes are likely a mess from the rain last weekend.
Please bring Merit Badge Schedules & prerequisites from Summer Camp tomorrow night, as many Scouts have approached me with questions. I'd like to assist each of you with your MB choices & schedules.
Communication MB Scouts may need to work with Mr. Barber for the planning of the Formal Court of Honor (6/10). Speaking of this - get your uniforms out & cleaned for the Court of Honor - don't wait until last minute!
Sign up can begin tomorrow night for the upcoming Father's Day Weekend Canoe Trip down the Delaware (June 19 & 20). Final sign-up will be next week (6/3). See information from Chris B. (below):
We are going on a canoe trip this Father's Day weekend from June 19th to the 20th. We will be canoeing 20 miles inside the Delaware National Water Gap from Dingman's Ferry to Smithfield Beach. We will start overnight on the river inside the water gap. The cost is $49 per person and includes the cost of food. You may also want to rent a dry bag (recommended) to keep all your gear dry, otherwise you will have to use a five gallon bucket. There will be a mandatory safety meeting sometime before we go on the trip where I will answer any questions you may have. All scouts are invited the more the merrier. We need the final headcount by June 3rd so the outfitter can reserve our canoes. If you have any questions at all let me know right away by email or phone. Chris B
That's all for now.
