Monday 4/10/23 Plans
Good morning everyone and Happy Easter,
Did you know that the reason why we celebrate Easter with eggs is because eggs have long symbolized rebirth and renewal, making them perfect to commemorate the story of resurrection as well as the arrival of spring? In that same manner, this past weekend our Scouts and leaders came together to resurrect the spirit of unity as everyone pulled together to drive yet another successful fundraiser. I know that nature did not make things easy, but it was only because of our strength in numbers and the creativity that went into how everything was executed right down to the last minute, that we were able to succeed. For that reason, I thank every person who was in attendance this weekend and everyone that was working behind the scenes in the weeks leading to this event.
Tomorrow we will go over preparations for our upcoming Spring Camporee event. We also need to do some cleaning up since the rain did not allow for us to do that after yesterday’s event. Also, if you have any unclaimed pork butts, please pick them up tomorrow.
Lets look ahead at what is coming up:
1. Spring Camporee is NEXT WEEKEND. The event will be at Camp Conley Clarke in Gaffney, SC. Pre-event email will be send this Wednesday, but given the recent cool temperatures you can expect the usual communication as in past weekend campouts.
2. Clemson Merit Badge day is also next Saturday. Please refer to last week’s email for the liability form that you will need to be checked in. PLEASE WRITE BACK TO ME TO CONFIRM IF YOU’RE GOING TO CLEMSON.
3. Order of the Arrow elections is schedule for April 17th. Please make sure you’re in attendance so that you can place your vote.
4. Joshua Bernal’s Eagle project is schedule for April 22nd to the 23rd at Indian Land High School. Sign up sheet is up.
5. April 29th we have a dual Eagle ceremony for Drew and Nolan at Andrew Jackson State Park. Details to come as we get closer to the date. Sign up sheet is up as well.
6. As stated in my 3/29 email, we have 2 exciting events coming up with the Kannapolis Cannonballers night and the Patriot’s Point Trip. Sign up sheets for both events are up. Payment for the baseball game will be due on 5/1.
As always, please reach out to Mr. Otto with any questions at [email protected] or (917) 856-1720. I will see you all tomorrow.
