Summer Camp Registration - registration due Tuesday!

Dear Parents and Scouts:

Well - with a few emails to council – I have procured the 2014 Camp Falling Rock Summer Camp Program Guide.  This outlines the merit badges and other programs that will be offered this year.  Please review and start to think about which merit badges and programs you will work on this summer.  Review the pre-requisites and start working on them as you have time. 

For the first year scouts, plan to participate in the Brown Sea program and maybe Swimming and First Aid Merit badges. If you have questions about what to take please ask myself or one of the other Leaders. 

For Scouts with a few years of summer camp under their belt that would like to try something different, look at the Rock Ranger or Foxfire programs.

Use the summer camp registration form to turn in your Early Bird fees which is due this next Tuesday.  Cost for Early Bird due now is $25.00.  The total will be collected by May 1st – which will be an additional $225.00 for a total $250.00.  If you miss the Early Bird sign-up then it will cost you $270.00.

If you have an idea on what you want to take then put it on the form.  If not just turn in the form and we can add later. 

Sincerely,

Kirk Bohanan
Scoutmaster Troop 136

Info for the caving trip this weekend

Parents and Scouts:

This letter is for those that are on the list to go caving this coming weekend. 

If you are going – here is a list of things that will make the trip enjoyable for you.

1. sleeping bag and pad.

2. 2 light sources – one headlight is required

3. clothes for crawling in the cave.  coveralls works best – but not insulated.  Boots are good for this – old ones.

4. pack your gear in a gear bag if possible.  pack packs are not required on this trip and will be harder to stow since we will not be taking the trailer.

5. Please wear Class A uniform on Saturday Morning.  once there in the cave we can change [Class A to travel home as well]

6. bring a sack lunch.  we will be stopping along the way to eat.

7. there is a gift shop at the cave.  also a snack bar – so plan accordingly

I will go over these items tomorrow night.  If you have any question please let me know.

I am also going to need adults going to help transport.  we have a total of 40 going.  If you can drive please give me that info tomorrow [number of total seatbelts that you can comfortably use –including the driver in count..

Scout Sunday

Dear Parents and scouts:

I hope all are staying warm in this frigid weather.  I am looking forward to having our Court of Honor next week on the 4th.  But before then, we have Scout Sunday this weekend.  Please see the note below from Todd Miller about how you can participate in the services at The First Presbyterian Church. 

Thanks – and Stay Warm!

Kirk 

Kirk:

Please forward this e-mail to all Scouts as a reminder about Scout Sunday this Sunday Feb. 2.

Scouts are encouraged to attend church in full class “A” uniform (including merit badge sashes and OA sashes) to recognize the birthday of Scouting.  If you do not have your own church, please join us at the First Presbyterian Church where we will participate in the services by handing out bulletins, greeting people as they arrive, and collecting the offering.

You should arrive at either 8:45 a.m. (service ends at 10:00) or 11:00 a.m. (service ends at 12:15 p.m.).  We will have adult leaders present to assist the Scouts in their duties.  Bring your families, too.

See you there,

Todd Miller
