E-mail from our Scoutmaster - May 29

Troop-

1) Remember, next Monday is a special Eagle Court of Honor instead of a regular meeting. Wear class A (including sash) and bring parents. There will be refreshments afterward. Also, there will be an opportunity to get a scoutmaster conference and/or board of review after the ceremony. THERE WILL BE NO PLC THIS WEEK. Program starts at 7pm in the sanctuary.

2) Monday, 6/9 is our last regular meeting of this school year. We will be having the remainder of our SM conferences and BORs that day as well as wrapping up some merit badges and packing for Bear Island.

3) The Bear Island trip is still accepting participants. This is one of the most fun trips we do. First-in $$ grabs the slots. Events include spending Saturday on a 74 ft schooner. Mr. Spiegelman will probably be accepting $ at the COH if you want to bring it.

4) The 6/16 meeting is our Spring Court of Honor (it will move quickly) to be followed by a camp meeting. The camp meeting is required for scouts and at least one parent of anyone who is attending Camp Raven Knob this summer for the first time with the troop. If this is not your first time but you are not 100% sure of how things work,please attend also. Even with part of the troop gone to Sea Base and two crews freshly returned from Philmont, it appears that we are taking over 50 scouts this year. Once again due to the work involved, troop spirit, and teambuilding, it is imperative that we leave as a troop on Sunday and return as a troop on Saturday. Please do not plan to pick your son up early.

Lots of things are going on. Camping merit badge had a fantastic trip at Shining Rock Wilderness last weekend and the Philmont crews are doing team building prior to our departure on 6/20. Thanks to all that participated in our chicken sale. We sold 200 halves, some drinks, and the remainder of our coffee.

See you Monday night.

PS-There may be some presentations to prior eagles, so all should come.
