Pre-camp swim test and 2nd class requirement 8c

Scouts and Parents,

As Kirk mentioned on Tuesday, everyone (including adults) who is going on the August Camping trip must pass the BSA swimmers. If you have already passed the BSA swimmer test in the last year (probably taken this past spring or summer) you do not need to retest. If not you must pass the swimmers test in order to go. Please note that you must have passed this specific test in order to go on this trip.

We have a lane at 6:30PM next Wednesday, July 31st at the Urbancrest YMCA. I will also work with a scout on his 2nd class requirement 8c if other scouts are interested in joining. Please let me know if you plan to come so I can plan accordingly. If you do not tell me ahead of time I may not be able to schedule you in
 
Thanks

July Newsletter

Parents and Scouts:

 
Here is the late and somewhat shortened newsletter for the month of July.  Sorry for it being so late; it has been a little busy around the Bohanan household this summer....

Here is an update on activities going on the rest of this month – and beyond.

1. Patrol Leader Council [PLC] don’t forget that this Saturday from 2-6 PM we will meet at the church for our annual planning meeting. THIS IS IMPORTANT.  If you are a member of the PLC please attend.  If you cannot, let me know.  Any other scouts or parents wishing to be apart of this activity let me know.  Please bring your ideas and details on for monthly program themes and campout locations. I will have Pizza for after our meeting once we are completed at 6.  Class B Uniform event.

2. Next Weekend, July 27-28, we will have a fund raiser event.  The Troop will be picking up trash at Fryer Park during the Grove City Homecoming Softball Tournament.  The planned times will be on Saturday morning at 8:30 –9:30 AM to set up trash bins, Saturday and Sunday evening from 7:30 – 9:00 PM -ish to pick up trash. A sign up sheet will be at the scout meeting next Tuesday.  If you want to help but can’t make the meeting this coming Tuesday please let me know when you want to work and I will put you on the schedule.  The troop will take all profit earned and divide it up to those scouts that work. More info on this at the scout meeting next Tuesday. Class B Uniform event.

3. The August Canoe Trip is in the planning stages.  We will be going August 17-18 to Marrow Ohio and float on the Little Miami River.  It will be a 10 mile float and should be a blast! You must have passed the BSA swim test to go on this trip. [Parents too!]  Cost for this trip will be $25.00.  Click here for the permission slip. Class B uniform event

4. REALLY BIG NEWS – We have heard back from the South Bass Island Camporee Registration people and we have been accepted for this camporee!!!  We have 30 spots and we will fill them first come – first serve. The cost is $79.00 to cover the weekend events.  This outing will start on Friday 9/6 at 1:00 pm.  We will have the scouts get out of school early that day so we can make it up to get the ferry in time on Friday evening.  In the past this has been a great outing [sometimes wet]. Click here for the permission slip.  Please note there are 2 pages on this permission slip which BOTH MUST be completed; one is for us one is for the Camporee Registration. Class A Uniform Event.

5. Tag Sale and Hog Roast will be coming soon!  Start saving your “treasures to sell”!  September 21st is the date to save! More on this later.

That is all for now.  If you have any questions please drop me a note and I will get back to you. 

Sincerely, 

Kirk Bohanan

Information about Clayton's Eagle project

Hello, my name is Clayton Lepley. I am going to put in a water purification system in a poor community in the Dominican Republic.  I am putting this system in because this community has limited access to clean drinking water.   The trip is scheduled for December 28, 2013- January 4, 2014.  I would like three father son teams to come down with me.  The fund raising that our troop offers can be used towards this trip.    There will be a short informational meeting on Tuesday July 16 after the regular scout meeting. This will be a time to learn more about the trip including cost.
Thanks

Clayton
