Awards Court of Honor – April 24

All Scouts and their families are invited to attend our Awards Court of Honor on April 24 at 7 PM in the chapel. Parents, please plan to attend this meeting. We’ll have information on the God and Church and God and Life programs that will be offered by Faith Presbyterian Church. Refreshments will be served in the Scout room after the meeting. Also, several payments and health forms are due that night, so please come prepared:

• Skymont summer camp (June 9-16) - final payments are due - $30 for Scouts and $25 for Adults if the first two deposits have been paid. The total cost is $180 per Scout and $85 per adult, which are subsidized by the Troop. All adults attending Skymont must be BSA registered adults. Please see Kim Ridenhour if you would like to register.
• Summer Adventure (July 14-16 New Orleans trip) - deposit of $100 per person and sign-up is due
• May Canoe trip (May 4-6) - $40 fee per person and sign-up is due (only those who pass the swim check as BSA Swimmer (not Beginner) may sign up)
• 2 copies of Health Forms Part C that require a physician’s signature are due to Mr. Ralph

 

Summer Adventure – July 14-16

The Troop’s Summer Adventure trip will be July 14-16 to New Orleans via Amtrak train, visiting The National WWII Museum. The cost of the trip will be $125 per person, and sign-up and a $100 deposit are due on April 24. The drop-off and pick-up will be at the Amtrak train station downtown, very early on that Saturday morning, and very late on the Monday evening when they return, so those going on the trip may want to arrange carpooling. If you have any questions concerning the trip, please contact Mr. Frederick Lee.

 

Health and Medical Records for Scouts and Adults – Part C Forms due April 24

• Parts A and B of the Health form are past due – please turn these in to Mr. Ralph as soon as possible if you have not already
• Part C of the Health form requires a physical and must be signed by a certified and licensed health-care provider, so make your doctor appointments now if you haven’t already
• Forms can be found at this link: www.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-001_ABC.pdf 
• Please TURN IN (2) COPIES of Part C by April 24 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. 

Church Service Project – Saturday, April 28

We need all Scouts to attend this service project, so please plan to be at the church from 9 am to 2 pm to help paint the wrought-iron fencing, lunch will be provided.  Wear old clothes for painting – the paint will not be able to be washed out.
