Parents' Meeting

Parents,

Our Parents' Meeting for Scout Camp will be June 7 at 7:10. Please have your Scout put on his Scout shirt and come with him to learn about our plans for this summer's camp (July 25-30).

Don't forget to take care of the Health Form!

Memorial Day

Friends,

The Scouts will be serving the city tomorrow by posting and retrieving flags in Smith Park. We will gather at 6:30 AM and at 6:30 PM at the church. I suspect that we will be gone about one hour in the morning and again in the afternoon.

There will be a Paradise Donut for those boys who help out both times.

Tuesday night we will be hiking R Mountain. Please help your Scout to dress appropriately.

Finishing up Badges

Friends,

For Tuesday, please help your Scout come ready to work on the badges we haven't finished. Specifically, please remind him to bring his worksheets for

• Family Life
• Personal Management
• Personal Fitness

Also, please put June 7 on your calendar. For that night, you and your Scout are invited to attend a Scout Camp Parents' Night. Please come with questions about camp and ready to have a Dad or Grandpa or Bishop sign up to join us at Treasure Mountain for a day or two.

We are also in need of help getting the troop to and from camp.

You already know this, but Scout Camp will be July 25-30 at Treasure Mountain.

Thanks,

Scoutmaster Steve

Last-minute change

We'll be camping at Krupp rather than at Rigby Lake.

Friday/Saturday

Parents,

Here's the latest on Friday's camp.

• We will meet at 5:00 PM at the church.
• Everyone participating will need a $10 check.
  
• Your scout should bring rain gear, warmer clothing than he will think he needs, and a sleeping bag and pillow.
• Breakfast will be provided by the District.
• Saturday morning will be spent working on rank advancements. Be sure to send the happy and cooperative version of your son
  
• No iPods or cell phones.
• We should be back around noon
  

For Friday's dinner, we decided to go simple. We will enjoy BLTs. If your son does not like BLTs or if his name is Chris, he is welcome to bring a tin-foil dinner. Food assignments follow.

• Grant--2 loaves of sandwich bread and drinks
• Dom--drinks and 1 pound of fried and not-turkey bacon
  
• CJ--1 pound of fried and not-turkey bacon
  
• Chris--tin-foil dinner and Miracle Whip
  
• Peyton--bag of chips and 1 sliced tomatoes
  
• Henry--bag of chips and 2 sliced tomatoes
  
• All--snacks as you see fit

Remember the checks!

Camporee

Let's go camping! The following comes from the Targhee District. Please note that this is an especially good opportunity for the newer scouts.

The Targhee District Spring Camporee is on!

It is scheduled to be held at Rigby Lake on the 6th and 7th of May. The cost is $10.00 per person. Breakfast will be provided by the district.

As always, there will be a campfire program Friday evening. Order of the Arrow will be doing elections during dinner and a call out at the campfire program.

Some of the stations that we are looking at having on Saturday are: Orienteering, lashing and launching a catapult, GPS/geo caching, plastic bottle rocket launching, fire building, and learning to set up a model campsite. On Saturday we would also like to offer the entire morning to boys that would like to work on their Tenderfoot, Second and First class rank advancements.

There is a very good chance that we will be doing a service project for Rigby Lake as well, so come prepared for it.

We will need to get a firm headcount by Sunday. After Sunday I will assume that your Scout won't be joining us for this camp.

Let's get ready and go have a great, productive camp,

Scoutmaster Steve
