Hello all Scouts and Scouters,
Please pay special attention to this message. WE WILL BE MEETING AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION MONDAY, MAY 5.
In preparation for our May campout and upcoming summer camp, Monday night's meeting
is a BSA swim test to be held at The JJ Pierce High School Natatorium. The school
is located at 1600 N. Coit Road south of Campbell road.
Monday night May 5th we will meet at 7:00pm at JJ Pierce High School Natatorium.
The pool is located in a separate building east of the main school building (see map).
The natatorium may be approached from Senior Way, which runs on the north side of the campus.
Scouts should wear appropriate swimwear, footwear and bring a towel. Class B
shirts please. We will begin as soon after 7:00pm as possible. We should be able
to complete the test by our normal 8:30pm meeting end time. Adults planning to get
in the water in Galveston or at summer camp need to take the test as well.
There will be no Scoutmaster conferences, merit badge classes or Boards of Review
this week due to the new meeting location.
Highlights
- Location is changed for Monday, May 5 meeting
- We need all parents and scouts to pitch in at Cottonwood this weekend
There are a few seats remaining on the bus to Galveston, NASA and the Battleship Texas. Please contact
Mr. Watts to sign up for the trip if you have not done so and plan to attend. Signups are also due for summer camp.
It is all hands on deck this weekend for the Cottonwood Arts Festival fundraiser.
We ask that each family contribute a minimum of 8 hours time to this important event.
Paul D.'s Eagle project continues on Saturday. If you are not planning to be at
Cottonwood on Saturday please consider helping Paul complete this important project
on the church grounds. Starting time 9am, finish when the remaining sand has been
relocated. Bring gloves, a shovel, water bottle, sunscreen and a burning desire to
get 'er done.
Scout Show tickets are selling fast. Please continue to sell this great moneymaker
for your account with the troop. Contact Mr. Chrisman if you need additional tickets.
I look forward to seeing you at Cottonwood park this weekend and at JJ Pierce
Natatorium Monday night.
Yours in Scouting,
Scoutmaster Coon
