Summer Camp

Summer camp is just around the corner and will be here before we know it. This is a great time for the boys to bond as a troop and to experience all that camp has to offer. Dates for this year's camp are July 15th thru the 21st.

It is now time for us to get our payments in to council to insure our ability to register for merit badges and other activities. If your boy is planning to attend summer camp this year, you need to come to our meeting next week (April 9th) for a short meeting. We will discuss camp and fees that are due.

Also, if your son has been selling camp cards, we need to have the money or the cards turned in. These are due in the council office by April 20th or we will have to pay for them.

Hope to see you next Monday!

Board of Review Training

Don't forget about our Board of Review training tomorrow night. Doc Summerlin will conduct this training for all interested adults. I believe that it is important for everyone to understand the importance of conducting quality boards of review. This training will help you to understand your role in our scouts progress toward advancement.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

We Survived the Klondike

Getting Ready for Klondike

We spent this past Monday night getting our sleds ready for the big Klondike event this weekend at Camp Daniel Boone. The scouts did an excellent job working together to build their sleds. Thanks to Josh Francis for being the power tool man. I know it was difficult for him to simply run the saw without telling the scouts how they "should" construct their sleds. Also, a big thanks to Rob for acquiring skis for us to use for runners. I think it's going to be a great weekend. We will attach the runners Friday before we leave! Get ready for an adventure!!

IOLS

This past weekend our troop hosted a group of 17 adults for Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills. Steve Skinner did an excellent job assembling a knowledgeable staff (several from our unit) for the event and everyone seemed to enjoy their time around the Church property. The location was great - the weather was not! I am including some pictures of some of the activities.

Scout Sunday

This coming Sunday, February 12th is Scout Sunday. All scouts and their parents are encouraged to attend the 11:30 service here at Pinnacle Church. Scouts are asked to be here by 11:00 to help park cars, hand out worship guides and to help with other activities prior to the service. We will all try to sit together during the service in the middle section. This is the one time during the year that we would like for you to attend services here at Pinnacle. I know that many of you have other Churches that you attend regularly and we do not want to keep you from those commitments but Scout Sunday is only once a year and we would like for our Chartering Organization to see just how many people we contact on a weekly basis through the Scouting program. If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call at 734-5719. See you on Sunday
