Scouts & Parents – Hello everyone, I hope all are healthy and ready to start looking forward!!

 

First thing, I will be camping out at Baden Powell this weekend with one of our scout families.  If any other families want to  join us, to gain camping nights and work on cooking requirements, you are more than welcome.  We will be following all the distancing requirements while camping.  Let me know if you want to come.

 

Summer camp – we still don’t have any final word on what Summer camp is going to look like.  My guess is that it Will happen.  My expectation is that all the major camps are going to be making announcements on May 1st defining what the next couple of months looks like.  With the expectation that camp WILL happen, you need to be thinking about the following:

    1.  Do you still want your scout to go?

    2.  Are you as a parent still willing to go?  We will be reaching out to those who have committed to going, to confirm your desires.

    3.  Can you as a parent help drive to camp?  To me this is the part of the trip where social distancing doesn’t work.  I can see us doing (4) to a car, and being ok; especially if we have a high concern – we might can     even drive with the windows down.

 

If we get the go ahead on Friday, or soon there after, we will need your answers quickly to the answers above.

 

I am hoping that at Mid May, we can start meeting out at Baden Powell.  Shortly after that, holding our Elections and Spring Court of Honor, all out doors.

 

We are still talking to scouts on the phone concerning Rank Requirements, hopefully everyone is working on something.

 

Last thing,  San Angelo Gives fund raiser is on May 5th.  This is a great time to make some much needed contribuutions to your favorite charities and non-profit organizations – LIKE SCOUTS!  I know our Council is in need, so as you are able, please give.

 

I will be in touch as soon as we know anything concrete.  Looking forward to seeing you soon.
