Kroger Rewards

We have received our quarterly statement from the Kroger Community Rewards Program. Please go on-line and retrieve your statement, then turn this into Mr. Fuller to get the money transferred to your Scout account. If you are not currently participating in this program and would like get started please let ask for details.  Mr. Fuller would like for you give him the account statement by June 23rd or by the Court of Honor in June.

Summer Camp

We paid our summer camp registrations last week, but they will be making a decision about summer camp for Chief Logan by the end of this week.  I am not for sure when MVSR will be making their decision for sure.  Most of this will be the result of what the governor has in mind.  There is a strong indication that he will give some recommendations regarding summer camp this week.  As soon as I know that the camp plans have changed, I will let you know.  Summer camp may not look or feel the same as in previous years, but if at all possible, I would like to have your Scout experience a fun week of camping this summer.  I will do everything in my power to make sure it is an experience they will remember for many years to come.

Virtual Merit Badges

On Wednesday, there will be another opportunity to register for merit badges.  I would ask that you send me an email and copy your parents asking if you can take the merit badge.  "Mr. Freeman, may I take the _______________ merit badge offered with the online virtual merit badge college?"  I will respond stating that you can take the merit badge and copy Mr. Wright in my response, using his new email.  Please do not wait to do this until after you have signed up.  You can also ask for several merit badges and then let us know which one you are taking or were able to register for after you sign up.

Here are the merit badges they are offering next week:  Chess, Citizenship in the Nation (Eagle), Fingerprinting, Personal Fitness(Eagle), Reading, Scouting Heritage, Stamp Collecting, Sustainability (Eagle), Theater, and Weather.
