Klondike Information

We will meet at the scout hut Friday afternoon at 5 PM, and will leave as soon as everyone arrives. The cost for Klondike is $5 and two cans of chicken noodle soup, you will also need to pay your patrol cook for the rest of your food. We will return Sunday morning sometime before noon. Someone will be calling Thursday Night to set up transportation, we may need a couple extra to drive up since around 19 scouts are attending.

1. Bring a sack meal for Friday night
2. Bring extra clothing and rain gear
3. Class A uniform for Friday, Class B for Saturday

Things Needed for Monday 1-24-05

We will finalize plans for Klondike Monday night which means I need to know exactly how many are going. We will have a session on winter camping, how to pack and what to bring. We will also be checking our patrol boxes to see what needs to be restocked. I appreciate all the help I have recieved with the Klondike materials, it should make for a great campout, if anyone has a couple of extra clipboards laying around I could use some.

Monday's Meeting Notes

Here is what we covered Monday Night, for those that weren't there I need information from you.
1. MBU - February 18th, cost is $12 a few still need to sign up
2. Klonkike - January 28-30 cost is $5 for campout food will be extra, we picked cooks for each patrol and they will let you know the cost of your food.

What a Great Monday Night

I have to thank everyone for making Monday nights ceremonies a success. We were able to recognize 11 scouts for Merit Badge's earned, 2 scouts advanced to First Class and 3 scouts advanced to Star. We also showed our appreciation to Cameron Dye who recently earned his EAGLE. Friends of scouting was presented by Marc Tenholder and Tommy Vavak and the contributions were far above what we had expected. Thanks to all the parents for supporting our program with their money and time. We capped off the evening with a bridging ceremony for 5 new scouts advancing from Cub Pack 89. We hope that a few more will decide to join us in the next couple of weeks. Again thanks to all that attended.
