Friends,


We will have a Scout meeting on May 8th.  Items on the agenda include

• planning a camp and hike for the 18th and 19th of May
• finishing up merit badges
• skills practice

Peyton, could you bring the tents with you?

Thanks,

Scoutmaster Steve

Scout Camp & Pow-Wow

Scout parents,

A few things to keep in mind as we look ahead:

• Scout Camp: July 23-28
• Treasure Mountain Scout Camp (Spotted Elk campsite)
• Please start collecting gear (see the list on the troop blog - http://hunsaker212.blogspot.com/ )
• We are not going to use paper plates and cups this year.  Please see that your scout has a non-breakable plate, cup, and utensils and some sort of durable bag to keep them in.
• It's not too early to get your physicals. Print the form available here and take it with you for the doctor to sign. 

Also, please remember that the scouts have the stake merit badge pow-wow for the next three weeks.  Let's get a lot of work done!

Computers

Friends,

We will start the Computer merit badge Tuesday night (Februar 21).  Please have your Scout bring a copy of this worksheet: http://meritbadge.org/wiki/images/3/34/Computers.pdf 

Are your boys finishing up the Personal Fitness, Personal Management, and Family Life requirements?

Remember the Stake Pow Wow: March 6, 13, 20.

Stake Merit Badge Pow Wow

Scout parents,

March 6, 13, and 20 are the nights of the Center Stake Pow Wow.  It's time to let the stake know what badges we want to earn.

This is a great opportunity to earn some badges.  To take advantage of it the boys need to be there each of the three nights!  This is very important.

I've listed below the badges that will be offered and the scouts who already which badges.  I encourage you to encourage your boys to work on required (*) badges.  They should choose two unless they select Cooking or Swimming.  In that case, there will only be time for one badge.

*First Aid: Brandon, Cameron, Henry, Kyle H, Kyle P, Peyton, Rhys
*Citizenship in the Community: --
*Citizenship in the Nation: Peyton
*Citizenship in the World: --
*Communications: --
Engineering: --
*Personal Management: --
Crime Prevention/Fingerprinting: Brandon, Kyle P
Fire Safety: --
Photography: --
Art: --
Cooking: --
*Emergency Preparedness: Brandon, Cameron, Kyle P, Kyle HH
*Swimming: --

Please have your scout come Tuesday ready to sign up,

Scoutmaster Steve

Tuesday, January 3

Parents,

Please send your boy to Scout meeting on January 3 in his Scout shirt and with his worksheets for the family life merit badge.  We'll work on that together but the real challenge with this badge (as with Personal Management and Personal Fitness) is keeping track of the 3 months of chores.

Thanks!

Steve

2012 Calendar

December 20 and 27

Scout parents,

Here's a quick reminder that we will meet at the normal time both tonight and next week.  We will help with a service project tonight and we will plan a big chunk of 2012 next week.

How are the boys doing on Personal Fitness, Personal Management, and Family Life?

Merry Christmas!

Scoutmaster Steve
