Hello All!
I just wanted to give you a run down of the happenings from last week's scout activity. We planned for our camp out and help further establish our troop by solidifying some aspects of our two patrols. The two patrols, the Pumas and the Beasts, now have a flag that has been designed and a patrol yell. Ask your boys about them and see if they can tell you about both of them. (They should be able to! ;] )
Beasts:
Chase (Patrol Leader)
Nathaniel (Chaplain Aide)
Matthew (Webmaster)
Joe
Kenny
Pumas:
Zach (Patrol Leader)
Jonas (Senior Patrol Leader over both patrols but in this patrol)
Wyatt (Quartermaster for both patrols)
Brandon
Joshua
And as many of you know (especially if you read the previous paragraph) there is a camp out coming up this weekend. (Tomorrow!) We are very excited to be heading back to Kikapoo. We will be meeting at the Church at 5:15 PM on Friday and then we will be leaving at 5:30 PM. We should be back at the church at Noon on Saturday. Food is all taken care of, the boys will just need to remember to bring flashlights, sleeping bags and WARM CLOTHING. (It might be a cold one!) They also should be wearing their scout shirts as we travel to campsite. (They can take them off once they get there so as to not ruin them.) Also the boys have instituted a new rule involving camp outs and cell phones and electronic devices. Electronic devices will not be permitted on campouts. (Unless there is an needed exception, if this is the case please let me know.) Cell phones will be allowed to be brought but collected and kept together in a safe, secure location for the duration of the camp out. There will, however, be allotted cell phone time at night, that will give the boys an opportunity to call home and say good night. If there is an emergency then we will still have access to our phones. This was a compromise that the boys came up with, so please help us keep this rule. Thanks and see you tomorrow!
