TOTIN CHIP COMPLETED

Monday's meeting beneficial
I was very pleased with how we did with Monday's meeting.
The completion of the Totin Chip finally arrived and 4 other Scouts began the Bugling merit badge with Mr. Fullerton - which really makes me excited as it will be nice to have a Bugler in our ranks.
Items of note:
1. Bike Rodeo is Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon, and the Troop can help by volunteering to help. Contact Ms. Deb if interested. The event is to be at Rutan Park.
2. COURT OF HONOR is set for our next meeting. We'll be awarding some well deserved rank advancements and lots of merit badges - which makes me very happy.
This will not be an Eagle Court of Honor as an event at the high school for our Eagles has them busy this night, but we'll soon be sharing in their Court of Honor on a future night.
As a treat for the Court of Honor the Troop Scouts will be participating in a Cooking Baking Contest.
Rules are simple: 1. bring a plate of cookies (6-12); 2. Scout must be main baker of the cookies, with only help in preparing them from adults - this could be a great time to learn some baking skills at home with mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt or uncle; use this as a learning experience, while preparing some tasty treats.
3. Our Daily Bread is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, from 4:15 to about 6 p.m. The church's Sunday school classes are serving and we can help out with some valuable time helping others.
4. Parking Memorial Day weekend - ??? - sorry only know event is occurring but not if we're able to park cars.
5. Tuesday, May 19, is an honorable night as we'll welcome Bryan W. into the Troop as he crosses over from the Pack to our Troop. Be at the church before 5:45 p.m. in uniform.
6. The camp early-bird special for Summer Camp deadline is May 22, so next meeting will be one of the last times to turn your $200 fee into Mr. Morris. If you're not sure how much you have in your Scout account, contact Mr. Morris. After this deadline the fee is $220. Also be getting medicial forms to Scoutmaster Jim, and remember you don't go to summer camp without this paperwork.
