Much discussed

MONDAY WRAPUP
We had a productive discussion about our weekend camping at the Camporee. Issues discussed included, making sure the chuckboxes were ready to go before arriving at camp and better use of our time.
I was pleased with the inclusion of the Webelos into the weekend activities and interaction between them and the Boy Scouts - seemed from my perspective there was lots of good.
Setting up camp in the rain was a thorn in everyone's side, but as most adults know, these are the memories that we share later.
Following review time, organizing the chuckboxes proceeded. We made a short list of items the troops needs for both itself and the patrols.
Connor presented some T-shirt ideals to the troop and informed the Scouts the cost was about $8 each, and I believe the patrols are going to proceed forward with patrol shirts as well as a possible Troop shirt - all through classb.com - very cool designs.
I spoke with 3 Scouts concerning advancement and I'm excited to know there should be at least 5 for the next Board of Review.
This coming week, the Scouts (and adults) if they like, are encouraged to bring paper and pens to write Brad a letter. I plan to package all of them together for mailing, unless someone wishes to mail their own.
Also on Monday, we're preparing for Webelos Woods by reviewing the requirements for the pins to be able to help teach the classes. The Troop Scouts wish to spend the weekend camping outside at WW, but they know there is a need for two adults, as I will not be spending either night at the Son Center. Free weekend of camping and food is provided, since the Scouts are working; we just need a head count to allow for food prep.
See all Monday.
Scoutmaster Jim
