Monday 4/17/23 Plans

Good morning everyone,

Hope you are all having a great weekend, but as good as weekend as you have had so far, I am know that our Scouts have had a much better one at Spring Camporee specially after learning that they got 1st place in the Spring Camporee games. Can’t wait to hear their stories.

Tomorrow we have our annual Order of the Arrow (OA) election and a brief kick off to our Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST) presentation which will carry us thru the next few weeks in preparation for our Troop election on May 8th. I ask any active OA members to please wear your OA sash for tomorrow’s event.

As stated in previous emails, we have a baseball/camping event coming up and we are starting to collect payment for this tomorrow as well. As a reminder, this is a family event, the cost is $20 per family member. Scouts that want to stay behind and camp with us will pay $30 instead of $20. Only Scouts can camp overnight. The reason why the camping piece of it is a big deal is because we will be allow to camp on the baseball field from which we will also watch a movie overnight. This should be a lot of fun. The deadline is 5/1, but I rather collect everything sooner than later in order to secure our tickets as quickly as possible.

Lets look at ahead at future events:

1. Joshua Bernal’s Eagle project is schedule for next weekend at Indian Land High School. Our meeting time is 8:30am at the high school parking lot. Sign up sheet needs to be finalize TOMORROW in order to give Josh a proper headcount.
2. 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.
3. Monday, May 1st we will have one of our Eagle Scouts do a presentation to help ALL Scouts fulfill a 2nd class ranking requirement on the topic of the dangers of using drugs, alcohol, and tobacco and other practices that could be harmful to your health. I encourage everyone to be in attendance.
4. As a reminder to those of you that signed up for the Complete Angler Fishing Weekend, that event is from May 5th to the 7th. I will send a separate email to all the attendees as we get closer to the date.
5. May 19th thru the 20th is the Cannonballers Scout Night baseball game. As stated above, please start brining in your payment.
