gloves and a great attitude!

2. Scout House Cleanup
Immediately After The Adams Street Cleanup

We need a lot of adults and Scouts with tools and enthusiasm.
The more participants we have, the easier and faster the job will be.

The goal is to perform:

  • Mowing
  • Trimming
  • Trash and debris pick-up
  • Bathroom clean-up
  • Scout-house cleanup (mopping, etc.)
  • And other tasks to make our great Scout House more presentable and enjoyable.

Please bring appropriate tools that you may have, including mowers, string trimmers, rakes, etc.

Bring water, gloves, sunscreen and sun hats!

3. Troop Planning Discussion

Finally, adults (Scouters) are requested to bring ideas for camping and day events for the upcoming Scout year (2010 /2011).

Those ideas will be used for discussion purposes at the upcoming Troop Planning Meeting, at which the Scouts will plan their agenda for the upcoming year.

To those going to the BSA 100 celebration September 24 – 26 :

To avoid long check-in lines on the day of our arrival, I’ve just learned that we have the opportunity to pre-register for check-in. I am sure we would all prefer this as I am being told that they are expecting north of 5,000 scouts, so you can just imagine what the regular check-in process is going to be like. Therefore, I am planning to walk our paperwork into the council office next week.  To do that I, need each scout who is attending to have the following:

-        A completed Parent Guardian Consent Form (attached)

-        A Parental Informed Consent Agreement for Climbing / Rappelling (attached)

-        Swim test certification: please reply via email and let me know if your Scout has passed the BSA swim test, and if so, what classification he has achieved:  Beginner, Swimmer, or Non-Swimmer. Most boys who have been to camp will know their designation.  This is EXTREMELY important information that must be collected in order for us to access to the water park and lake for activities.  Please note that I will need to ask about certification for swimming for sibs.  The instructions were not very clear.  I will get back to you on this.

 I NEED THIS NO LATER THAN NEXT MONDAY, 8/23.  PLEASE!!  I CAN’T PRE-REGISTER FOR CHECK IN UNLESS I HAVE 100% COMPLETION OF THE FORMS!  ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL. THANK YOU.    

I NEED FORMS AND SWIM TEST INFO FOR MOST OF THE SCOUTS ATTENDING.  SEE EMAIL RECENTLY SENT OUT.

I will also be emailing more info about the event in the next few weeks, so stay tuned! 

Thanks everyone.
