Please step into the church when you bring your son to the April 13 or April 20 meeting. We need you to update your son's medical records, help him select merit badge courses, and sign up for time slots at the Cottonwood Art Festival. Adult leaders will on hand to answer questions.
The BSA has a new medical form. All scouts are required to have had a physical within the last 12 months for any activity lasting more than 72 hours, such as summer camp. A medical history and release is also required annually for all activities. Please plan ahead to ensure your scout is prepared. Adult leaders will be able to show you on Monday what forms your scout needs, but you can save time by filling out the PDF form in advance and bringing it with you.
Troop 1001 also needs an Over the Counter Medication Authorization Form on file for every scout. This is a new form. Save time by filling this one out in advance, too.
Troop 1001 will attend summer camp at Camp Hale Scout Reservation near Talihina, Oklahoma June 7-13, 2009. The cost for scouts is $230, and for adults, $175. Both fees include transportation by chartered bus. Scouts should sign up early for merit badge classes to ensure a slot. Your guidance is necessary because some classes incur extra costs for materials or services. Half the fees are due by the April 27 meeting and the remainder is due by Monday, May 18.
Finally, and importantly, please visit the Cottonwood table to sign up for time slots to help with this crucial community service and fundraising activity, scheduled for April 30 to May 3, 2009. All families need to sign up for at least 8 adult hours to make this event successful.
