Hello Spring Breakers!  I hope all are enjoying some down time.

 

Just a few reminders . . .

Canoe training, April 13th, Saturday at 9:00 am – Baden Powell.  This is for all the new scouts, and any others who want to improve on their canoe skills.

 

I’m going to contact the YMCA tomorrow to try and schedule a swim test opportunity for all the newer scouts.  Will let you know of the dates and times.

 

Court of Honor April 16!  Would love to see all  our new scouts complete their SCOUT rank by Tuesday the 9th!  We have plenty of time, but you have to stay focused!

 

South Llano Trip, April 26 – 28.

 

Lots going on . . . good planning is the key to success!!!

 

 

Equipment Reminder – For the new scouts coming to San Angelo state park, here is what you will need:

Sleeping bag -  the bag you buy should work for Winter Camp and Summer Camp – 20 to 30 degree bag.  Any bag will work when it is warm, but if you are going to buy a good one, make it work for Winter also!

Mess Kit – this can simply be a bowl that they can eat anything out of; Spork, or spoon, knife, fork set.  Go by Happy Trails and talk to them.

Ground pad – keep the scouts off rocks and the cold ground. 

Nalgene bottle – large mouth bottle (easy to carry and clean).

Head lamp – flashlight will work.

At some point, a rain poncho.

Please, make sure we talk before you go out and spend any big money on gear!

 

See you soon.  J Helton
