Email from Christian - June 24th 2014

Hi Deacons Quorum! This is Christian. I just wanted to remind everyone about my eagle project tomorrow at Forest Home Park. We will be redoing the bleachers and painting them for the upcoming all-star tournament.


I will need helpers there from either 10:00-2:00 or 4:00-8:00 pm. Please bring hammers, crescent wrenches, and circular saws, if you have them. We will be tearing out worn out boards that need to be replaced and installing new ones. We will also be painting the bleachers once we are done with the repairs. The more tools we have, the faster the project will go!


Thanks so much everybody. I can't wait to see you all there tomorrow!

Email from Bro. Allen - June 15th

Thanks to all the dads that helped out at the campout.  It was much appreciated and I think all the scouts that were able to attend had a fun time and learned a little more about cooking camp food and building camp fires and exploring creeks and watching for slippery mossy logs.


#1            We are meeting this Wednesday (6/18/14) at the church at 7 PM.  We will starting the Citizenship in the World merit badge with Bro. Geigenmiller.  This merit badge is required for Eagle.  Attached is the worksheet for this merit badge.  Please print it out and bring it with you.  Bro. Criddle, the 11 year olds are welcome to join us for this merit badge.  Please pass this email on to them.  Thank you.

#2            Reminder about having your BSA Medical Forms turned into me by June 30th.  You need these physicals on the BSA Medical Forms to be able to attend Scoutcamp.  Parents fill out Parts A & B.  Physician fills out Part C.  I have attached the forms in case you need them.

#3            I need to know if any dad's and/or leaders are planning on going to scoutcamp with us at Camp Baldwin.  I have to have a roster and they need to know names and contact numbers for all those planning on going up to Camp Baldwin.  Scoutcamp is July 14-19.  We will be leaving around 4 AM on that Monday and returning sometime Saturday about 1 PM.  We shouldn't have to worry about 2-deep leadership as we are camping with another troop and should have 2 adults there the entire week.  If you would like to come you are welcome.  I would like to keep the week balanced with dads/leaders that are planning on coming.  I will be there the entire week.  Bro. Jensen and Bro. Giel will be coming in on Wednesday and staying until Saturday to help bring home scouts from camp.  Hopefully they have a vehicle that can transport the scouts back.  I will need another transporter on Monday morning as my Suburban has the capacity to carry 8 passengers so I can carry an additional 7 in my vehicle.  The other vehicle(s) will need to carry the rest of the scouts which should be 6.  We have 13 scouts going.  The cost breakdown for adults is as follows:  $140 if staying the entire week.  $25 for every night that you stay.  Day only visits are $5 for breakfast, $6 for lunch and $7 for dinner.  Adult visitors will need to check-in apon arrival and can pay there cost at that time.  They will also have to have their appropriate medical forms at that time or better yet, turn the medical forms into me before we go up on that Monday morning.  If you are staying overnight you need Parts A & B of the BSA Medical form filled out.  If you are planning on staying 3 nights or more Part C must also be filled out by your physician.  The forms are attached.  I need to know ASAP on your plans for attending.  Thank you.

#4            I am attaching a guideline of what to bring and what not to bring to Camp Baldwin.  Please take a look at the items so that you can be more prepared for scoutcamp.  I am also recommending that everyone takes the Horsemanship merit badge as this is the only camp that offers that merit badge.  The Horsemanship merit badge does cost $18 additional.  Also, the overnight Horse ride is very popular but also costs an additional $14.  Below are some of the other additional costs involved at Camp Baldwin.  I have also listed 2 possible schedules depending if this is the scouts 1st summer camp or their second.  These schedules can be modified depending on what the scout needs or wants to take at Camp Baldwin.  These suggested schedules include all of the required merit badges for Eagle that Baldwin offers except for Horsemanship.

1st Time at Scoutcamp                             2nd Time at Scoutcamp

9:00        Horsemanship                            9:00              Cooking
10:00      Cooking                                     10:00 - 12      Lifesaving
11:00      Swimming
2:00        Environmental Science              2:00              Horsemanship
3:00        Camping                                      3:00              Camping
4:00        First Aid                                        4:00              Merit Badge (non required)
