ANNOUNCEMENTS

Service Opportunity: Fox Hill Center

Please let the leaders know at Thursday’s Troop meeting if you are interested in the following service opportunity.

I am writing to you as we are looking forward to our Nursing Home Week which is all about community. We would love for the residents and your scouts to come together in some sort of collaboration. Our Nursing Home week is May 8th-14th. I hope we can come up with some ideas and get the connection built. 

Also we are in need of volunteers. We especially need volunteers on Saturdays at 130pm for our Bingo. We have a computer that calls the number but need volunteers to run it and help with making sure the residents get the number on their cards. We also hand out raffle tickets to winners and would need help with that.

As soon as possible, please email Mrs. Westerberg with your shirt size if you are attending summer camp, Scouts and adults.

Here is the link to the Summer Camp Health form. Please ensure that all sections are completed and return to Mrs. Westerberg by email or hard copy as soon as possible.

The summer camp merit badge schedule is out. Please take some time to take a look and think about what you want to earn this summer. Mrs. Bradshaw will be at an upcoming meeting to discuss the schedule with the troop and to collect your selections. Week 6 is also a special Trail to Eagle week during which JNW will offer a few of the Eagle required badges that are not typically in the summer schedule. The Trail to Eagle program schedule is not out yet but will be posted to the blog when it becomes available.
