Cancellation of All Activities through March 30

We have been notified by Faith Presbyterian Church that they are cancelling all activities through March 30. So there will be no troop meetings on March 17 or March 24. The March 27-30 campout will be rescheduled to April 3-5. The first aid training on March 21 is also cancelled. We will delay the troop t-shirt order due date to March 31. The New Family Orientation 101 meeting is rescheduled to March 31, confirmation will be sent the week prior.

 

Troop 48 T-Shirt Orders due March 31

Attached is an order form for Troop t-shirts, the prices and choices are shown on the form. All Scouts must have a Troop t-shirt for Camporee in April and enough t-shirts to wear each day for Skymont summer camp in June or the Summer Adventure in July. Orders and money for t-shirts are due to Mrs. Teri Gulati by Tuesday March 24. We will not be able to accept orders after March 31. You can email your order to Mrs. Gulati at hgulati@aol.com by 3/31 if you can’t be at the Troop meeting. Please consider now if you will need a larger size soon or if you would like a long-sleeve t-shirt for the fall/winter, as we will not be ordering again for several months.

 

Summer Adventure in July – St. Louis

Our Summer Adventure will be a fun trip to St. Louis July 23-26 (Thursday-Sunday) including the City Museum, The Gateway Arch and the St. Louis Science Center. The cost per person will be $75, and the troop is subsidizing part of the cost. The first deposit of $25 will be due April 7, and the $50 balance will be due by May 5^th.  Thanks to Yvonne Gamblin for planning this trip!

 

New Form for Annual Health and Medical Record for 2020

There is a new version of the Annual Health and Medical Record for 2020. Please use this form going forward. It can be found online at https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/ahmr/. Parts A, B, and C should be completed annually for all Scouts and adults attending campouts and are due to Mr. Richard Ralph by April 28. Part C requires a doctor’s signature, so make your appointments now.

• Please TURN IN (2) COPIES of the forms to Mr. Ralph and also keep a copy for your home records. This allows Mr. Ralph to send copies in advance to the Camp Nurse and still have a copy in his possession for quick reference.
• Provide a copy of your insurance card with the form – both front and back
• Provide the immunization record on Part B (Separate printout is also acceptable)
• Be sure that the Scout and Parent sign the forms (on Parts A and B)

·        Do not leave any lines blank (You must designate at least one adult to transport your Scout on Part A)

·        Do not email the health forms

·        Any changes in medications taken from what is reported on the health form should be communicated to Mr. Ralph so he has the most up-to-date information at all times.
