Awards Court of Honor – this Tuesday, May 2
Please make plans for all Scouts and their families to join us for the Awards Court of Honor at 7 pm in the Chapel. We will have some special award presentations, more information on Skymont, and district Scouting representatives to share information with us about donating to Friends of Scouting. Refreshments will be served in Room 111 after the meeting.
Skymont Fees due Tuesday, May 2
The remaining Skymont deposits and merit badge/activity fees are due on this Tuesday May 2. The last deposit is $50 for Scouts and $25 for Adults. Attached is a list of the merit badge fees that are due. If anyone would like to sign up for the Ocoee River Whitewater rafting trip on Friday of the camp, please also pay the $80 fee on May 2 and let Mr. Matt Jordan know. (Rafting for age 12 & older only and BSA Swimmer). There is also a waiver that must be signed for the Whitewater rafting trip that Mr. Jordan will provide to those who sign up.
Troop T-shirt Order due Tuesday, May 2
Attached is an order form for Troop t-shirts. All orders and money are due by May 2 at the Court of Honor to Mrs. Peggy Lux. Scouts attending Skymont will be wearing Troop t-shirts each day, so they need enough to get them through the week. You may also turn in orders at the Troop meetings prior to May 2 to Mrs. Kim Ridenhour. Long sleeve shirts are also available to order and won’t be ordered again until next year, so get your order in now if you would like a long sleeve shirt for the fall and winter.
