Scout Sunday, Parent Meeting, Program plan

Good afternoon!

Religious - Scout Sunday, Duty to God on February 9th  
Right now, there are only four Scouts that have signed up for this really cool opportunity!  You can still sign up between now and Sunday morning!  Be at the church at 8:30 AM on Sunday.  We will begin handing out the programs for the service at that time.  We will pass out the collection plates and a Scout could read the scripture to the church. Please let me know if you are interested.  I will put you in touch with the pastor at the church to get your reading so that you can practice it before Sunday.  Here is the signup for Scout Sunday:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050d49aca62fa1fe3-scout

On Sunday after Scout Sunday, we have a great opportunity offered to us by Assistant Scoutmaster Jim Rose to earn a Duty to God Award religious knot as a youth.  Here is where you can find the information:  https://www.praypub.org/religious-emblems 

The Duty to God will be done over three months.  There will be one meeting each month.  Once we meet on Sunday, we will determine when we want to meet again and the outline of the program.  This is a great opportunity for our Scouts to learn more about how they honor God while in Scouting.  Here is the website for more information:   https://www.scouting.org/awards/religious-awards/    and    https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/512-879_WB.pdf

Item that needs to be turned in next week 2/11:
1.  Permission Form for Maple Fest
Campout Maple Fest - March 6-8, 2020 Permission Form is due February 11th
We are helping with the Maple Fest at this campout.  Our station for the weekend will be the rope station.  The Scouts will be able to work in teams on this event.  Only one team will have to be at the rope station during the day.  This will allow the other team (s) to go and explore the Maple Fest.  The teams will take turns showing Cub Scouts the rope station. 

2/25 Parent Meeting for the Mystery Campout over Memorial Day Weekend:
We will have another parent meeting on Tuesday, February 25th @ 7:15 PM.  This will be the meeting we pass out the permission forms and also allow you to ask questions that you may have for the trip.  All items for this campout, permission forms and deposits will be due one month later on March 31st.
