Parents,

We need your help! We have a few roles that need to be filled:

1) Summer Camp Committee - Tom Palmersheim and I need a team. Duties: Sign up scouts for merit badge classes, plan the transportation, paper work, etc

2) Assistant Scout Masters - We have very few adults taking on the ASM role who's scouts are 1st or 2nd year. Come enjoy scouting with your scout!

3) Board of Review - We need a group of parents willing to come to meetings and review scouts for their rank advancement. This is one of the easiest ways to support the troop!

Please contact Paige Kester if you are willing to help!

Who: We are limited to 45 scouts. These spots will go fast!
When: June 9th-15th
Where: Camp Hale (1 Camp Tom Hale, 74571 Talihina, OK) - Only 3.5 hrs away
Cost: $300-$400 will be the likely range after transportation, t-shirts, merit badge choices and other considerations are determined. You pay nothing today to reserve your spot! We will ask for progress payments in February, March, and April.

Message:

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 )
