Adults:  Mr. Wright, Mrs. Ewing, Mr. Guay and Mr. Caldwell
Scouts: Shane, Zach, Elias, David, Kohta
New Scouts: Any Scout that just joined the troop or a Scout that is working on their Scout rank only.

They will be working with the new Scouts to earn the Scout rank.  The new Scouts will be able to be able to work on advancement that is spaced out during the meeting.  They will have the ability to sign up for a slot at 6:30, 7:00 and 7:30.  

2.  Scouts going to summer camp:
If you must take your temperature and record it starting today:   (See email for the link)
If you do not record the temperature during the day, I will be calling at about 8:30 at night to get your temperatures.  This is something that we have to do in order for them to be able to go to camp next week.

3.  Summer camp packing list is very different for some Scouts, but here is a good list to view:
You can also use your Scout Handbook for a list as well.  

Here is a video that Mr. Guay and I created as well for you to watch.  It is about a half hour, but a great resource for our newer Scouts to watch and check their gear before they go:   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_XOxE5XaVbJVzVFqW4UcAjl6x-WqGwRA/view?usp=sharing

5.  In case you need a medical diet that is different than normal, here is a form:

6.  Medical form for Scouts attending camp to pack with the medication in the original box or packaging in a clear plastic one gallon bag with their name on it:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JKg_fzWO3uAnu_3DdhCx5Tal7kv6AEnEhrpqGUxsFbQ/edit?usp=sharing

7.  Please complete the medical form that Mr. Guay will keep and track with the Scout to be sure that medications are given at the appropriate time:

8. Sign up for the merit badge will be sent later tonight.  I will only send this to the Scouts going to camp.

9.  Tent options for camp.  I will also send a sign up for tent options for camp.  You have three options for tenting.  You can bring your own tent, you can use a troop tent, or you can use a camp tent and cot.  If you decide to use a troop tent, we will try to get you a cot to sleep on during the week, but you might also invest in an air mattress that you can use with an electric blow up battery operation fan.  Please send me an email if you have questions, but this will be sent later tonight.

9.  I am sure that I forgot something with the lengthy email about camp.  Please send me questions and I will do my best to get back to you with answers.
