Troop Meeting July 13 prep for Whitewater

The meeting on July 13th is required if going on the white water trip...we have a great program for the night and we have to have a definite head count for the two outfitters. If you are not going to be there, and plan on going on the trip to TN for whitewater rafting, I need to know....for instance.... I know that (2) Eggers and (2) Boldings are going but will be out of town for the meeting.

Please make sure we have his updated BSA physical for this Trip..same for all leaders...the cost for the trip remains the same (earlier Troop blog) depending on our final numbers (the less who decide to go, the more it costs the rest of us who are) this coming meeting. Departure times remain the same depending on haul vehicles...if we only have the Frank Tank to haul our gear, then we will probably leave earlier Friday evening in order to set up when we arrive in TN . The Advance Party will reserve a place for us at the camp site and some tents. If we have adequate haulers for the trailer, and more than six in the Advance Party, we can leave later on Friday evening and the camp will be set up for us when we arrive.

We need to be able to support Mr. Griffith, in an earlier note that he sent to the Troop, and the Vulcan District at the end of July with the Cub Scout Encampment at Oak Mountain. The purpose of the event is to convince/encourage WEBELOS to stay in the program and join a Scout troop. It will serve the District and the GAC well, but will also assist us with recruitment down the road. We will need some Scouts and leaders to assist with this activity on July 29th, More will be announced in the coming meetings about this.

Thanks for all you support.....please encourage his attendance...see you this coming Monday....
