OA: Section NE-4C Conclave
May 16-18 @ Camp Spencer, Broad Creek Memorial Scout Reservation. IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO REGISTER! OA members from area Lodges will gather for fun and fellowship. I encourage all OA members to attend. Register online and be sure to let me know if you're planning to attend.

Troop Elections
Nominations for the July - December 2008 leadership term will be held on May 22 and elections on May 29.

Troop Banquet & Court of Honor
Thursday, June 5 @ 6:00 PM. In our continued efforts to raise funds for a troop trailer, we're forgoing the annual picnic in favor of a more formal spaghetti dinner and silent auction. $5/person, due on May 29, will include pasta dish and dessert. Scouts from each patrol will bring one assigned item: bread, beverages or salad. Additionally, each family is asked to donate a homemade baked good, as well as other resale items, to the silent auction. It's our hope that our troop members and their families' generosity will help us get closer to our goal. In addition to the dinner we'll have our closing Court of Honor ceremony, recognizing all awards and advancement earned since November. Bring the whole family...immediate, extended or honorary...to see what Troop 70's all about.

OA: Summer Fellowship Weekend
June 6-8 @ Rodney Scout Reservation. No inductions, just fun and fellowship. Lodge Officer elections will also take place. OA members may register online.

Camping: Assateague National Seashore (Beach Camping)
June 13-15. Tent camping. Space is limited! Scouts and leaders will enjoy the sun, sand and surf. $15.00 cash and sign-ups due on, and NO LATER than, May 29.

Summer Camp 2008
August 10-16 @ Rodney Scout Reservation. We now have twenty-six Scouts registered for the week, and only two full-time adults. We're still in desperate need of adults who can spend all or part of the week at camp. For complete details click here. Don't forget to schedule a physical exam with your doctor if necessary. Medical forms can be downloaded here. Merit badge and activity schedules will be distributed shortly so that Scouts can decide their schedules.
