hello all
Troop meeting next Tuesday at 7pm
Pictures from Camporee have been posted on the Facebook page as well as the Website if any body else has some picture they would like posted send them to me and I'll put them up.
All the Troop tents have been dried, packed and inventoried.

Now for several reminders:
Please remember to finish your Scholarship Merit badge worksheets.

Chris has arranged for the Troop to use the Greystone YMCA pool. So the Scouts can use the facility for the BSA swimming tests, including what is required for 2nd class rank. They have agreed to let us come in on March 19 at 3:00 (Saturday) and use at least 1 lane of their pool for what we need to do. They are open until 6:00, so we should have plenty of time to accomplish what needs to be done.
We need to leave Clanton by 2:00 (meet at Hut). We can decide on who is driving once we know who all will be attending, but I’m quite sure we will need several cars. All boys need to wear normal clothes and change into their swimsuits when we arrive. Once complete, we can change back into normal clothes and stop somewhere for dinner on the way home. We would plan to be back at the hut no later than 8:00. Remember to bring a towel.
Also concerning summer Camp
It is not too late to register…
1. Attendance: The following scouts are signed up to attend Summer Camp during the week of June 12 through 18:
Jacob Smith, Devin Gray, Hunter Gay, Jadon Downs, Timothy Lightsey, Austin Lightsey, Eiland Cleckler, Carter Giles, Aidan Jackson, Payton Parrish, Riley Locke and Clay Vinson.
Leadership will be as follows: Jimmy Jackson (full week), Chris Smith (partial week), David Locke (partial week), Greg Gay (partial week).
Leader fee is $100 per person for the entire week or $50 per person for a half-week. Any leader staying over 24 hours will be required to register and pay for half or full week. ALL leaders in attendance must be in good standing with BSA (youth protection, weather, etc.).
2. Payment: The full $210 per person is due to the council on April 14. I got your deposit last night and will be sending those in to hold our spots. The balance will be payable as soon as you can prior to April 14 so I can send the money on time. After April 14, fee goes to $225 per person.
Refunds: The only balance that is nonrefundable is $30. Otherwise depending on cancellation time prior to camp, a charge will apply. See the brochure for details.
3. T-shirts: The $10 for t-shirts will be due with the camp balance on April 14. If you want a t-shirt, send me your size requirement and I will put you on the list.
4. Merit Badges: I will have merit badge assignments before April 14. Once the assignments are made, individual class fees will be calculated and added to your total balance due. This amount is due on April 14 along with everything else.
You are required to buy the merit badge book to use at camp. You are also required to print the worksheets and bring with you to camp. If there is homework required prior to camp, you will be notified of such and expected to have it completed by camp.
5. Guests at camp: All guests must sign in with the camp office prior to coming on the premises. No camper can leave prior to the departure date unless scheduled with the Scoutmaster and camp office.
6. Family Day: Friday is family day, including lunch if desired. If lunch is included, it must be scheduled with the camp office by Wednesday. Family competition begins at 2:30 and will conclude with a 6:15 flag ceremony and 8:00 campfire.
7. Uniforms: Uniform shirts are required for evening meals and chapel services only. Full uniform is not required (to my knowledge) at any event for the week. There are “theme” days planned, see the brochure for each days’ theme.
8. Medical Forms: Parts A, B, and C of the BSA medical form are required before attendance. This includes the doctor signoff, so please plan accordingly between now and June to be sure it is complete. Your scout will NOT be admitted onto the camp without having a complete form filed with the Scoutmaster.
Any other questions, please feel free to email me or Chris and we'll respond accordingly. as Chris said "I don’t have all of the answers, but I know where to go and get them…"
and lastly this picture sent to me by Ms. Leah by way of Mr. Locke's wife
