Scouts & Parents – Coming into a very busy season.  Please keep a sharp calendar, plan as best you can – lots of opportunities.

 

1.  This weekend . . . we just found out tonight, there is a Bio- Blitz with ASU.  The event details are on our troop facebook page.  IF you are a “naturalist” enthusiast, this would be a lot of fun . . . for the whole family.

 

2.  On Oct 17th, for those not going camping, there will be a scouting event called Jamboree –On –The-Air.  Short wave radio operators will be having an event here locally.  Scouts who are interested are encourage to come out.  Learn about short wave communication, and talk to scouts all over the country and the world.  Get with me if you want more info.

 

3.  Cub Camp is coming up On Oct 23 – 25 (same weekend we are doing the Shoot-Out cleanup).  If any scouts would like to be a staff member out at the camp, the organizers would love to have you come help.  Contact me if you are interested.

 

4.  Lastly – we have been talking about Winter camp.  Early registration ends Oct 31st.  I don’t think costs are finalized yet, it should be around $125 for scouts;  less for adults.  I would like to have us registered by Oct 31st.  We can always add more later, just at a higher cost.  The dates are Dec 27 to Dec 28.  This is a very important Merit Badge opportunity if you can work it in.  More details to follow.  I also need to know which adults can and would like to go.  I will put a signup genius out next week.

 

Talk Soon – J Helton
