Don't miss this opportunity for summer camp swim checks, 1st and 2nd class aquatics requirements and the swimming merit badge (Eagle option required). All of these are being offered the week of June 11th. For swim checks, please choose a day and use sign up for that particular day (June 11 - 14th). For 1st and 2nd class aquatics requirements, please schedule an appointment with Mr. Short. For the swimming merit badge, please use sign up.

Summer Camp is right around the corner. A reminder that your scout needs to have an annual physical BEFORE camp. Your pediatrician needs to fill out Part C of the BSA Health and Medical Record found in Files/Forms or click here.

TO BE CLEAR: Parts A, B, and C need to be completed and returned. Part C definitely needs to be filled out by a physician. Part B often needs to be signed as well regarding medications INCLUDING over the counter medications you want to send with your scout. You also need to fill out the Colorado Immunization Form found in Files/Forms. Lastly, make sure to include a copy of both sides of your health insurance card.

Many of you turned in parts A and B when you paid your dues in January. If that's the case then you likely need to just have a physical and have the pediatrician fill out Part C and perhaps the Colorado Immunization form.

As always, you can check with Mrs. Phillips our Health and Safety Chair.

Patrols - bring your best chili recipe!

Meet at 6:30 outside of Newton. The troop will provide stoves and propane. Patrols to bring all their ingredients (note: it helps to have the meet pre-cooked). Coordinate with the patrol to bring utensils/big pot to cook chili, bowls or dixie cups for serving, plastic spoons, paper towels, a trash bag and maybe something to drink.

If someone could bring Clorex wipes that would help with clean up. Thank you!

Due to lack of available camping sites over Memorial Day weekend, we have had to change the dates of the Sand Dunes campout to the prior weekend. Sign up is open for 5/18 - 5/20.

NOTE: Adult leaders needed for this campout. At least two uniformed leaders are required for this (and all) camouts or this campout will have to be canceled. Consider becoming an Assistant Scout Master and leading one or two activities per year. You will make a difference in the troop! Please contact Mr. Boase for more information on becoming a Assistant Scout Master.

Keep those flower sales going! In the past few years, scouts have earned 20-30% of their total sales for the scout accounts. That's money that can be used for any scout related activity - summer camp fees, annual dues, scout store purchases, etc.

In addition, sales support our troop and help keep dues and Court of Honor costs low. They also pay for new camping equipment, our storage shed to hold all of our equipment, materials for new scouts, the website, etc.

There is no full troop meeting this week (PLC only), so either drop off forms/checks at Mrs. Jha's house or bring them to the April 24th meeting.

Keep on selling!

Hey Troop,
