Hello Troop Families!

We are looking forward to our End of Year Picnic and Court of Honor on Monday, 5/17. Please note, we’ve made a location change. Login to see the new address, and the sign up genius for bring sides and drinks. 

The entire family is welcome. We will provide burgers and hotdogs, which will be grilled by our ASMs. We need you all to chip in and provide the sides and drinks. Following dinner, we will serve Rita’s Italian Ice for dessert and then proceed with our Court of Honor. This is a new location for us, so I’m not 100% sure of the set-up. There are a few picnic tables at the pavilion for eating, but it is probably a good idea to bring your own chair(s) or a blanket for sitting during the COH. This will also help with social distancing. 

What: Kayaking Campout
How much: $90.00 per person, Scout or Adult. This includes kayak and equipment, as well as cost of campsite.
Private campsite primitive. Will need to bring all our own water to drink. No Cracker Barrel Friday night.
We will do the 4 mile trip twice. This is the fun part of the river.

Scouts under the age of 13 must have a parent or adult guardian attend to kayak with them.

Everyone will have to pass the swim test to attend.

We made a large number of Merit Badge counselor updates. I encourage all Scouts to click on the Merit Badge Resources link to review the current Merit Badge Counselor list in order to determine the current counselor for your area of interest.

Parents we are always looking for volunteers. We would love to add you to the list of Merit Badge Counselors if your vocation or hobby matches a Merit Badge. Our biggest needs are Camping, Hiking, Environmental Science, Orienteering, and then any Merit Badge for which we have either one or no counselors.

Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the Merit Badge counselor updates. (click on "read more" to see name and email FF )
