Congratulations to our graduating Scout, Shane Chanpimol! Good luck in finishing your Eagle and in college this fall!

Troop Meeting

Anyone without outstanding MB requirements need to turn them in tonight!. Scouts will begin planning for June's camping trip, for which $15.00 is due. $5/person due for next week's Court of Honor. Troop elections will also be held.

Troop T-Shirts
Order forms are attached and are due by June 5. Remember, all Scouts attending summer camp must have a t-shirt. Long-sleeve and hooded sweatshirts are also available. Minimum troop order is 30, so be sure to get your form in!

Troop Committee Meeting
Sunday, June 1 @ 7:00 PM. All troop leaders and parents are encouraged to attend. We'll be coordinating next week's dinner and Court of Honor.

Troop Spaghetti Dinner & Court of Honor
Thursday, June 5 @ 6:00 PM. $5/person, due on Thursday, 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. A flyer with all details will be distributed on Thursday.

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 are 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. 2nd year and older campers can download the program descriptions and schedule here and should let me know as soon as possible what Merit Badges and activities they want to participate in. Remember, Scouts must fill at least three periods with Merit Badges or scheduled activities.

Florida Sea Base 2009
Just a reminder that a spot is available for any eligible Scout or adult. For everyone else, the next payment of $300.00 is due by the end of June in order to secure airline tickets. I'll start collecting the $300.00 this week. Please try to turn it in by the Court of Honor, or you may mail it to me before the end of June.
