#1 This Wednesday we will not be meeting as per normal because this weekend we are having our Backpacking Campout Friday and Saturday March 27-28. We will be meeting at the church at 3:45 PM. The food this time will be not be a combined effort so everyone will need to pack their own food. We will be heating up water for our meals. The scouts will need to bring dinner and breakfast and a snack that is appropriate for backpacking. The scouts went over the food planning for this type of camping and should know what type of food to bring. Also, you should buddy up on tents. Bring a packable tent if you have one. We will be returning Saturday mid to late morning.
#2 I know some of you received partials at Scoutcamp for the Cooking merit badge. I have attached the Cooking merit badge worksheet. Please refer to that worksheet for more clarification. The scouts that received partials still need to complete requirements #1d, 2a-d, 3b, 5a-f, 6a-b, 7c-e, 8. Going on the campout this weekend will satisfy requirement 7c-e.
#3 I know some are interested in the Aviation Merit Badge. This event does conflict with the Stake Father & Son's campout that same weekend and our Ward's Youth Temple Trip on that Saturday (meeting at the church at 3 PM to be ready for the 4:30 PM baptism session at the Temple). Registration is open. See below. Registration is at the website http://www.cpcbsa.org/

#4 Everyone going to Scoutcamp is required to have a physical, no exceptions. Attached is the BSA medical forms that are required. No other forms will be accepted. Parents fill out Parts A & B and the physician fills out Part C. Please have your scouts physical to me by my deadline of July 5th, 2015. All BSA Medical forms/physicals are valid for 1 year. Adults and leaders that are planning on going need Parts A & B if going for less than 72 hours and Parts A, B and C if going for more than 72 hours.
If you have any questions and/or concerns, please let me know. Thanks.
