I would like some Adult help with the organization of this event. There will be an exciting aspect to this year's Summer Camp - a ceremony will be held to open a Time Capsule that is in the wall of the Hawk’s Nest Pavilion. A Troop from Mississippi will be joining us in the ceremony - more details to follow.
There will be a Leader Meeting 14 April & 13 May by Zoom for Adult Leader information and questions, this is with Council.
Our Troop will have a Summer Camp Parents/Youth mtg tentatively 26 April - this will likely be a Zoom mtg - I will send details in advance of this meeting.
Three important first steps:
Contact me by email to reserve a spot for your Scout
Send $75 dollars to the Troop via PayPal
Decide on the desired Merit Badges and/or Brazos Buccaneers participation - there will be a Parent Portal provided where you will make selections, this information will follow soon.
Thanks, I think this will be a Summer Camp to remember!
444 & 444G Orientation Meeting for all parents who haven't yet attended orientation (we didn't hold this meeting last spring!) Thank you for your flexibility in adjusting this meeting date due to the forecasted rain for April 12.
Monday, April 19 7:30 pm Arapaho UMC Parking Lot
Wear a mask, bring a folding chair and maybe a flashlight. If your scout won't need their handbook, borrow it!
We will be sharing helpful information on Scouts BSA, our troops, and how parents can best support their scout and the full troop!
All scouts and parents in the boys and girls troops can get their official BSA Swimmer Test done next weekend at the Oak Point Recreation Center indoor pool in East Plano. We've had a difficult time finding a facility to accommodate this with COVID regulations, so this is an important opportunity - and as per BSA rules, this test will be required for ALL scouts and adults attending the boys troop canoeing campout in April that want to float the river, as well as for scouts and adults attending summer camps or high-adventure trips.
