Calls for the Fourth of July Flag Ceremony

We have changed the time and meeting place for flags on the fourth of July.  We will now be meeting at Brother Heaton's home at 5:30.  We had to do this because we didn't have enough people show up to our flag ceremony prep meeting today.  For those who missed that meeting, here are the calls for the ceremony:

Flags, Flag Ceremony, and Scout Camp

We will be having an abreviated scout meeting tomorrow (Monday, July 1st) at 4:00pm.  The plan is to meet at the church for 30 minutes to prepare for the flag ceremony that we will be performing on the 4th of July at the ward's breakfast.

Speaking of July 4th, we have flags that will need to be delivered.  As a reminder, this is what was able to pay for our awesome experience at Camp Raymond so make sure that you participate!  We are meeting at Brother Vincent's house at 5:50am to take care of this.  We will discuss our evening pick-up time on Wednesday.

Just a word on scout camp.  We had an awesome experience and would like to share some pictures and stories, but we do not have everyone's blog persmission slip so we cannot post any pictures yet.  Please get this turned in asap!

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

Scout Camp Pack Check

We will be having a pack check at Brother Ray's house on Saturday, June 23rd, at noon.  Please arrive with your camp gear and be prepared to go through it with us so that we can ensure that you have all of the necessary equipment with you for camp.  You will be leaving it with Brother Ray so if there is anything that you will need between Saturday at noon and Monday morning when we depart make sure that you keep it with you.

For those of you who have not yet turned in your health forms, please bring them to the pack check to hand in to Brother Ray.

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

Scout Camp Prep

Tonight will be our final night to prepare for scout camp.  Please come so that you so that you can get the information that you need which will allow you to show up Monday morning on time and prepared to have a successful week.  Our departure date of June 25th is literally around the corner so make sure that you are prepared to leave.

As a final reminder, we are in need of you health forms (parts A, B, and C).  If you have any questions or concerns about this please let either myself, Brother Moore, or Brother Ray know so that we can help you to take care of it.  Again, your boy cannot participate at scout camp without these forms.

Health Form Immunization Form

For those who need the immunization form I have added it to the list under the summer camp tab.  If you have any questions let me know.

Summer Camp Health Form

Summer camp at Camp Raymond is now less than one month away.  It is essential that you get your Health forms completed by your health care provider asap.  You will not be able to attend summer camp without doing this.  If you lost the form that you were sent home with you can print off another copy by clicking on the summer camp 2012 tab that is above the quote from Pres. Monson.  From there scroll down to item C and click on the "click here" link.  Please do not wait to get this form filled out and turned in to Brother Ray, Brother Moore, or myself.  If you have any questions please let one of us know.

This week at scouts we will start working towards planning our camp.  The main topic that we will focus on will be planning which merit badges you will work on while at camp.  Please come prepared to discuss this.  Know which merit badges that you have completed, and which merit badges that you are in need of.  If you would like to know which merit badges that Camp Raymond offers you can find out by simply clicking on the summer camp 2012 tab.  Scroll down to part B and click on the "click here" link.  This will give you all of the information that you need (and more) about the camp.  From there the table of contents will direct you to where you need to look.  Again, if you have any questions please let one of us know.

One last thing that is completely unrelated to summer camp.  How are you doing on your homework?  Bring it to scouts on Wednesday so that we can check on your progress.  If you don't know what I'm referring to, please bring this to my attention at scouts so that we can go over it again.

Memorial Day Flags

This is just a reminder that we are meeting at Brother Ray's house for breakfast and flags tomorrow morning at 6:30am.  Be on time!
