Chairman’s Corner
I would like to remind all of
the parents of a few very important issues:
SAFETY
No Scouts are allowed to leave a meeting, campout or activity without the
permission of the Scoutmaster, David Shields. The Scouts must be picked
up by a parent or someone that the Scouts' parent has authorized to pick him up
and whose name has been given, by the parent, to the Scoutmaster.
ATTENDANCE
If your son will be absent from a meeting, please notify Scoutmaster David
Shields.
PARTICIPATION/ADVANCEMENT
Participation in Troop meetings, Campouts and activities are important part of
the Boy Scout Advancement Program Requirements. While we are mindful of
the many different school and sports activities in which the boys participate,
your sons’ participation in the Troops’ program is necessary in order for him
to advance.
Leadership is an important requirement, for Scouts seeking to earn the ranks of
Star, Life and Eagle. Each Scout is required to demonstrate at the Board
of Review that, to the best of his ability, he actively fulfilled this
requirement.
I would also remind all Eagle Candidates that they should get their project
ideas approved by the their Advisor, Troop Advancement Chairman and Scoutmaster
and then the District Eagle Board Chairman as soon as possible.
EAGLE COURT OF HONOR
All of our Scout Families are reminded that we would like all of our Scouts and
their families to attend the Eagle Scout Court of Honor scheduled for April
21st. ALL SCOUTS ATTENDING WILL BE RECOGNIZED WITH AN AWARD(S) ON
THIS DAY. The Troop puts out a Journal for this Court of Honor and we
ask that each family to help solicit advertisements for the Journal. The Troop
will soon be sending out letters to each Scout Family, with further information
on our Journal and Eagle Scout Court of Honor.
TREASURE ISLAND
I am pleased to announce that 25 Scouts and 9 leaders and parents will be
attending TI during the week of July 7-13. More information will be
forthcoming.
Thanks, Chairman Ed
