Survival Kits and Scout Handbooks

This is just a reminder to bring your wilderness survival kits to scouts tonight.  We will be reviewing what you have put in them.  Also, please make sure to come in uniform with your scout handbook.  We will be reviewing your records as well tonight.

Wilderness Survival Camporee and Travel Bug

As a reminder, please arrive Friday at the church between 4:15 and 4:20pm for our camping trip.  Make sure that you are dressed in uniform and do not forget your health form.  You cannot participate without it.

Also, please make sure that you are working on your survival kit that you will be bringing with you to scouts on Wednesday.

To update you on our travel bug, its name has been officially changed to Captain Do-Good.  The picture associated with this bug has also been changed as voted on during our scout meeting on Wednesday.

Travel Bug Update

This is an update on the Travel Bug that we placed on our last campout.  The Bug has been moved to a new site that is south east of... Yakima, Washington!  We have also been petitioned by Mad Chad the Pirate to change the Bug's name to Captain Do-Good.  Mad Chad has also provided us with this image to go with it.  What do you think?

Flags and Camping

This is just a reminder that we have flags to deliver on Monday morning.  Please meet at Brother Ray's house at 6:30 IN YOUR SCOUT UNIFORM.  Remember that this is a scout fundraiser for troop 819, and as such we should make sure that we are representing our troop when we deliver the flags.

As for camping, please make sure that you have an anual health form filled out (part A and B) for this upcoming campout.  You do not need to see your health care provider for this form, it just simply needs to be filled out and signed by your parent/guardian.  If you do not have the form let me know and I will give you a copy.  You can also click here for the link to the online form that you can print out.  You will not be able to attend this campout without this form.

Flags and Wilderness Survival

Scouts tonight will work to accomplish two things: first we will be traveling around to collect money for our flag project.  As a reminder, this project is what funds our troop and allows to to camp and do other activities.  As we are representing our troop to the community, please make sure that you wear your uniform for this.

The second part of scouts will focus on the Wilderness Survival merit badge.

Bacon Cook-off

Just a reminder to come prepared for the bacon cook-off tonight.  Bring something with bacon as an ingredient.  If you don't have something in mind, contact Riggs so you can get together to make your food.

Stake Merit Badge Clinic

This is just a reminder that this Saturday, February 11, the stake is finishing its merit badge clinic for Personal Fitness, Personal Management, and Family Life.  They will be meeting from 1pm-5pm at Williams Field High School track.  Make sure that you bring your blue cards to be signed, as well as any homework that you have been given.

Scouting for Food Reminder

Just as a reminder, we will be meeting at the church tomorrow morning to collect food for the food drive that we put flyers out for on Wednesday.  Again, please make sure that you are in your scout uniforms.  Thank you in advance for your service!
