All,
The February campout’s primary schedule is skiing at Snow Creek (Friday 3rd to Saturday 4th), and we will camp at Snow Creek, Weston, MO. Please see the attached permission slip, or download the permission slip from the upcoming camping events.

Please use the online sign-up to let us know you're attending, but remember to turn in your permission slip and payment. Sign-ups for the skiing campout will start at next Monday’s meeting and are REQUIRED by Monday's meeting January 30th; no exceptions as tickets will be purchased that night.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate over the next week or so (stays warmer than normal, no snow fall, etc…), we may fall back on an alternate activity plan and keep the campout to Friday/Saturday. The final decision will be made by the PLC at the meeting on Monday, January 30th. Please sign-up and plan on skiing that weekend.

Please let me know if there are any questions.
Thanks,
Troy Brooks
Camping Coordinator

PS. There is a new option this year for an All Day All Area Pass. It will allow all day access to both skiing/boarding and tubing.

Pancake Breakfast is just around the corner on Saturday, 02/25/2012. Please mark your calendars. 

Tickets are now available and will be distributed during every regularly scheduled meeting leading up to the breakfast. They come in booklets of 5 tickets and will be sold $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for children (12 and under). Webelos that will be crossing over are also eligible to sell tickets. This is a great opportunity for Scouts to put money into their Scout accounts to help offset the costs of campouts, summer camp, high adventure, etc. 

Remember, 100% of ticket sales go directly into the individual Scout's account. In order to do this I will be soliciting donations for place mat advertising. The goal is to have donations cover all the cost of materials (I.e. pancake batter, syrup, sausages, beverages, etc.). 

This is where you can help me now. If you have a business, or know of a local business that might be interested in advertising please convey the contact information to me and I will send out a sponsorship request letter. Advertising starts as low as $25. 

Lastly, since we do not have a regular meeting until 01/09/2012 I am willing to distribute tickets from the Starbucks on 152 Hwy this Saturday, 12/24/2012, from Noon to 1:00 pm. Please contact me via phone or email if I can expect you. If there is no interest I will not be there. 

Yours In Scouting, 

Dave Wood

The 2012 Merit Badge College is available this year. Two attachments are
included; one is the original registration packet that
explains everything and the second, is a form that I would request all
participants complete and return to me.

There is a registration deadline and I will be at the January 9th meeting,
at the January 13th campout and at the January 23rd meeting. All forms are
due by January 23rd as our troop registration must be in by the 24th.

Anyone wanting to register after the 23rd will need to contact me direct to
determine how late registration is handled. There is a great deal of
information on the registration packet to include costs, locations, dates,
times, etc.

All associated costs need to be turned in with the second attachment, which
is the form that is one page and has the offered merit badges and the
scout's information at the bottom.

In addition; two deep leadership applies so adult volunteers are needed.
Please contact me if you are willing to attend this function.

If there are any questions, please feel free to email or call me.
