Whitewater Trip

An excellent meeting tonight with Dr. Tracy Hamilton as the guest
speaker with his chemistry show.

The NOAC crew, S and St Hardy and M Gunn returned after a
weekend from attending the National Order of the Arrow Conference at
Michigan State University at Lancing.  They competed in ceremonial
competition for the Pre Ordeal phase of the OA Ordeal.  Two other teams
also competed from the Chapter.  There were more than 7,000 Scouts at
the Conference, with the Alabama contingent being the second largest in
size attending (105 of the Coosa Lodge).

The total fee per person for the Nantahala white water trip this coming
weekend is $65.00 per person; the fee for the Ocoee is $120.00 per
person.  Quartermasters will meet this Thursday at 6:30 PM to pack our
gear (uniform not required),  and we will meet at the Hut at 5:00 PM on
Friday to leave for Gee State Park (red Troop t shirt, Scout socks,
Scout belt and Scout short or long trousers.  The early (Advance) party
will also meet at the Hut at 6:30 PM on Thursday and will meet on
Friday at 8:15 AM to depart for the early arrival and set up at Gee
State Park.  Uniform for advance party is also red Troop T shirts and
other parts of the uniform.

When parents drop off their son on Friday, they must come in the Hut to
sign the Nantahala/Ocoee Rafting Consent Form and turn in the BSA
consent form along with the paying fee for the trip.

We will return between 1 and 2PM on Sunday, stopping for a lunch at
McDonalds.

Thanks for your support and for encouraging attendance.
