The Wood library reached out about another village clean up. There’s an opportunity for any interested scout to participate this Saturday from 11 to 1:30 PM.   A pizza lunch to be served.  

We had a fun 6 mile hike and campout!   We saw Wolf Den, Indian Chair, a youth campground we might want to revisit, did Scout skills, practiced meal cooking, and learned how many marshmallows you can put on one stick.    This was a first campout with us for 4 of our Scouts and they did great!

Please make sure to get your Summer Camp payments in by April 28 for the Early Bird rate!

We need your Merit Badge selections for Camp by 4/28   when we sign you up!

• They are located here:                Merit Badges  <--  Print this out.
• And the descriptions are here:   MB Descriptions and Prerequisites.

For our cross overs from this year and last:

• We'll sign you up for the First Class Path which will fill up most of your day, and focus on rank advancements, Swimming Merit Badge, and one Handycraft Merit Badge  (Leatherwork, Art, Basketry, and a few others offered once you get to camp).
• See the writeup on the second page:  Program Guide  (Page 22).
• And we recommend you select something at 7PM, and Astronomy at 8PM (That's a good one for new campers).

Print that MB list, put your name on it,  circle your selections (First Class Path for our newest Scouts), and get it to Mr Miller ASAP.   You can scan and email it,  take a picture with your phone and text it, drop it at our Meeting on Sunday if we don't get rained out.    

Thanks!

We'll be going Camping May 1st to May 2nd at Mashomoquet Brook State Park in Pomfret CT  (5 minutes past Camp Webster).

It will just be for one night from Saturday until Sunday to give us a taste of camping.  Highly recommended for our new Scouts.

You will need your family to transport you, and if you are one of our newest Scouts you must have a parent staying with your Scout overnight.

Look for more details in an email, and we'll need to know by this Sunday who is going.

Stay tuned!
