Scoutmaster's Corner

Mandatory Cleaning Event

Saturday May 19, 6:00-8:00pm
Location – TBD (ACC or 8467 Eaton St)
Uniform – Class B shirt/jeans or shorts
Movie – Knights of the South Bronx – immediately afterward for scouts wishing to attend.
Event does not include a meal, scouts need to have eaten dinner.

We opened a patrol box and found severe health problems. At Troop Leadership Training in April, all gear was cleaned and inventoried for the DD Ranch campout. The box for the Lock-in this weekend had an unclean pan with mold growing, another pan with severe residue and the patrol leader told me they couldn’t get it clean and they did not ask for adult leader help at the campout. The gear was also misplaced and probably mixed up with other boxes. Please discuss with your scout that dirty gear and unclean food causes severe health problems. If interested, the 2 items will be available for public display Monday and Saturday.

Fundraising Notes:

Chocolate is available for scouts to check out.  Scouts participating in individual chocolate sales must sell the entire box (50 candy bars) - you will not be allowed to sell partial boxes.

Stadium Cleanup Projects and Bronco games: If you worked these events, please see me for information about these events so we can credit you all for these events.
