Campout this weekend - CANCELLED

Parents and Scouts:

I am sorry to report that we will have to cancel the camp out this weekend.  I could not lock in enough qualified adult leader  help to make this campout happen.  I could not go this weekend due to family plans – but next month – we will go backpacking.  be ready!

Sincerely,

Kirk Bohanan
Scoutmaster Troop 136

A percent of your spending at Kroger on the Kroger Plus card will go into the Boy’s Scout Account.  The Scout Account can be used to pay for Sudmmer Camp fees, Monthly camp-out fees, Troop Dues, and Troop related expenses that are approved by the Scoutmaster. Please check with Jim Baughman on status of your son's Scout Account.

5. Need Adult HELP on this month’s Campout!

Please plan to be a part of the campout this month.  I will NOT be able to go, [but I will have Eric, my son assist – Thanks Eric!]  I am still needing other adults assist as well I realize this is short notice since we are going next weekend.  Please help if you can. 

6. BSA Health Forms

HEALTH FORMS from Summer camp are now on file for the next 12 months.   If you did not go to summer camp you should have at least Part A and Part B of the New Health Form submitted to the troop.  [Part C is the visit to the Doctor’s office]. This is important information that we take on our outdoor outings in case of an emergency.  Please help us by getting this information into the Troop. As any medications change please update Part A of your son’s form. Please keep a copy of this form for your records - and in case I misplace them.
