Permission Form

Over the past few months the boys have mentioned that they thought we should post pictures of what our troop has been doing, so in response to their request I will be sending out a permission form.  Things that you can expect to see are pictures and/or videos from campouts, service projects, and other scouting related activities.  We will also be using first names only when describing the pictures/videos, and relating stories or information from the activity.

No pictures, videos, or names will be used until all permission forms are signed and returned.  If you have any questions regarding this please don't hesitate to contact me.

Cabin Campout Update

Please be at the church at 4:15 pm tomorrow afternoon for our campout.  We will be leaving at 4:30 pm.  Do not forget your food assignments for lunch or dinner, and remember to bring your own breakfast.  Also, make sure that you dress appropriately.  We will be at around 5500 ft elevation so you can expect the weather to be colder.  Dress in layers so that you can stay warm, but also shed unnecessary clothing as it warms up.  For the two of you who are MC's on this campout, make sure that you have put some thought into the campfire/morning side program that you are preparing.

As always, if you have any questions please let one of us know.

Cabin Campout

We will be camping this weekend at Brother Moore's cabin.  All of the arrangements will be made at scouts on Wednesday night, except for our departure time which will be posted here on Thursday night after 6pm.  Please come so that assignments and plans can be made with regards to meals and such.  See you all there!

Flags

Brother Heaton is in the process of trying to inventory all of our flags.  Please take any flags that you currently have at your home to his house before we leave for our campout this week.  Thanks!

Flags

This is just to serve as a reminder to all of our scouts: flags go out tomorrow.  This is just a reminder as we talked about all of this last night.  If you do not have flags you need to pick them up from Brother Heaton, long with your new route.  If you do have flags, you still need to contact Brother Heaton to get an updated route.

Veterans Day and Flags

This is just an update on the last post.  Flags need to be delivered and picked up this Friday for Veterans Day.  The flags are currently at Brother Heaton's home, and they will need to be picked up by each young man on Thursday.  Information regarding routes will be distributed at that time as well.  Thank you for your hard work!

Flags and Merit Badge Clinic

This Friday is Veterans Day, and as such flags will need to be delivered.  I will post more information about this as the date gets closer.

On Saturday there is a stake merit badge clinic.  If you are planning on earning your eagle scout award you need to attend this.  They will be starting three required merit badges including Family Life, Personal Fitness, and Personal Management.  These are three of the more challenging merit badges to earn because they require three months worth of tracking information and progress.  This is, without a doubt, the best way to earn these badges (and there is no cost either).

Here is what you need:
A physical--Filled out by your primary care provider (the one from scout camp is sufficient as long as it was within the last year)
A dental exam--Stating that your teeth have been cleaned and cared for
Signed blue cards--3 cards signed by your scout leader
Exercise clothes--You will be doing some running so come prepared to run (shoes, not flip flops...)

Date: 11/12/2011 (this Saturday)
Time: 8:00 am
Place: Williams Field High School football field
