"Scouting brings out the best in each of us. Live what you've learned and will continue to learn. Help others to hike the trails, to keep steadfast in the paths of truth, of honor, of duty, that all of you can soar together on eagles' wings. You are part of a mighty army of youth, even a royal army, and every organization, to be successful, has an honored tradition to uphold. May you uphold Scouting's tradition, for it can be as a lighthouse beacon in the world of stormy seas, it can be a motivation to prepare for your role in life, it can be a yardstick against which you measure your accomplishments." ~President Thomas S. Monson--2010

Camping and Homework

Last Wednesday for scouts we met and started a three month homework project.  The goal of this project is to complete some of the most difficult requirements for three time consuming merit badges that are required to earn the Eagle Scout award.  The young men are to use the packet that we sent home to track their chores, personal fitness program, and financial record.  This is to be updated by the young man daily.  --Young men, you need to make sure that you have discussed this project with your parents.  They need to be aware of what you are doing with regards to these records (that is one of the requirements).  Make sure that you bring your records with you to scouts every week so that we can check on your progress.

We are camping this weekend, May 11th-12th.  We will be camping by the vehicles so don't worry about packing light, however we will be doing some hiking the following day using only "day packs."  Most of your gear will be left behind with the cars while we hike.  Make sure that you arrive at scouts on-time and in uniform.  We will be covering the details at that time.
