Reminder - Summer Camp balances due May 1

Picture
Just a gentle reminder to all attending Summer Camp that the balance on the camp fees are due on May 1.  E-mails have already been sent to those with outstanding balances.  Please contact Mrs. Vickers with any questions.

BTW - now would be a good time to get Mrs. Christo your updated Med forms (with the doctor's signature). 

Great Mansfield Cleanup - Sat. 5/4 at 8:15am

4/30/2013

 
The Troop will once again be doing our part to make Mansfield Beautiful by participating in the Great American Cleanup of Mansfield.  Yes, the main event was last weekend, but a Scout always does his part, so we are joining in a week late. 

Please meet at the Congregational Church at 8:15am on Saturday, May 4th.   We will be getting our cleanup assignments from the town's coordinator, and proceeding to the site(s) assigned.   We expect to be done with our portion of the cleanup at 11:30am.  Parents are welcome to participate, along with our Scouts and Adult leaders.

It is highly suggested to wear work clothes, and to bring gloves, as we will be handling litter.  A water bottle (filled, of course) is alos recommended.

Pack Inspection - Mon. April 22

4/21/2013

Three will be a pack inspection for the Treasure Valley outing at the Troop Meeting on April 22.  All Scouts attending the campout should be prepared with their packs.  Be sure that you have all the items needed for this trip.

The packing list for the trip can be found in the Downloads page on the Troop website.
Recall that we are in the shoulder season between Winter and Spring, and that the temperatures can vary widely from freezing to the 70's.  Pack clothing accordingly. Remember, layers are your friend

Congratulations to our new Troop Leaders!
