Scouts & Parents – I heard from a hospital friend that there was not one positively tested patient at Shannon today.  That is awesome!

 

I’m  hoping it won’t be long before the scouts can start meeting again  - outside.

 

We heard from our Summer Camp today, everything is still good to go . . . for now.

 

We have three of our families camping out at Baden Powell this weekend, working to complete Wilderness Survival requirements.  As long as we are adhering to social distancing guidelines, we have permission.

 

I bring this up to give all our families something to think about.  We are missing our March and April campouts.  If your family goes camping, even in your backyard, it can be counted as a scouting night out.  I would encourage you to consider Baden Powell, or the State Park so it feels more like a campout.  While you are camping, scouts can work on cooking requirements, and some other rank requirements.  If you want to talk camping opportunities, call me.

 

There is going be be one more week of Merit Badge University starting next Tuesday the 21st.  Signup should be this weekend.  Kevin Franke will be communicating about that.

 

I need scouts to be thinking about positions of leadership they are interested in.  We will be having our next election the very first chance we are able to meet together.  

 

Three of our Assistant Scout Masters and myself have been calling all the scouts offering to work on rank.  If you are 1st Class and below, you should be working on rank during this down time.  Call me if you need to work and haven’t gotten a phone call.

 

Everyone get out, get some exercise – healthy is a good place to be.  See you soon.  J Helton
