New Scouts campout

A reminder that the New Scout Campout is this weekend....2-3 April

We will meet at 7:30 at the Hut to turn in new Scout and new leader BSA registration forms ( youth protection certificate required for leaders (scouting.org)..we will collect all fees if your have them including the campout fee of 15.00. More details for this trip are found on the March 21 Blog, and earlier Blogs, on the Troop Web Site.

He need not bring his Scout book/guide as we will assure it is completed at summer camp for his rank advancement. So please assure he has a copy by summer camp. We will issue the red troop t shirts on Saturday morning also before we leave the hut for the campout. We will use Troop tents for the camp out as numbers will not be an issue. Parents are welcome to join us for the camp out or visit us at the Camp site. We will be in the Primitive Camp Site Area at Oak Mountain (the first right turn from the main gate into a gated dirt road after passing the the main asphalt road on the right leading into the main lake/beach/recreation area).

Older Scouts and leaders who are assisting as guides should also be present at 7:30 AM at the Hut.

We will leave from the hut to buy meals and ice at the Piggly Wiggly..then head out to Oak Mountain.

Please make sure he is dressed for the weather. If it portends rain, assure he has a rain suit, not a poncho. He will need a hat if the rain jacket hasn't a hood....common sense...but sometimes an issue for some on a cold rainy day....

If he cannot make the this new Scout camp out, Troop fees and BSA registration forms/medical forms should/can be turned in on Monday, April 4 at the regular Troop meeting.

We may be able to have a advancement to Tenderfoot requirement make up for the physical fitness requirement at the May campout so as to be ready for the Summer camp requirement.

Thanks for all your support and for encouraging attendance.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call or reply....
