Subj: Correction to Goodfellows Announcement

In my earlier email I said that box packing would begin at 5:00. Make that 5:15. There will be some things to do at 5:00 I am sure, but the actual packing begins about 5:15.

Sorry for any confusion,
Hugh

Subj: Goodfellows Boxes - Service Proj opportunity

If anyone needs service hours or would just like to help, the Kiwanis Club will be packing food boxes on Wednesday, Dec 17th, at 5:00 at the Fair Grounds, in the Family Life Building.

We always have a good number of scouts show up and it's a good project. Should plan to be there about an hour. We are planning to pack 432 food boxes for needy families in Dyer County.

Merry Christmas to all,
Hugh

Subj: Reminder of Court of Honor

Remember that we are having a Court of Honor Monday night, Dec. 8, at 6:30. Due to Church meetings it will be held in the Chapel this time. All scouts should wear their Class A uniform.

We have a good number of rank advancements along with one Eagle presentation.

For those not familiar with the Church, enter by the same door used for meetings and go up the stairs rather than down. The Chapel will be on your right at the top of the stairs.

See you Monday night,
Hugh

Subj: Advancement

Scouts, go online and look at your Advancement Progress for things that you could work on this weekend at the campout. You will have time and leaders available to assist/observe. I noticed that even some of the older scouts have some camping requirements remaining that they might be able to work on, but it doesn't have to be just camping requirements.

If you have any questions, contact me or one of the other leaders.

Subj: Be Prepared Skit for Atmosphere Service

Darin Lightfoot asked if the Boy Scouts would perform a skit, with a theme of being prepared, during First United Methodist's Nov 9th Atmosphere Service (11:00 AM).

We need eleven scouts to perform the skit, and so far the following scouts have said they would participate: Kent Kirby, Stephen Escue, Collin Naifeh, James Naifeh, Andrew Collier, Alan Cecil, and Price Whitnel. We need four more!

The lines are very simple, and we will be practicing tonight at 7:30 at the Family Life Center.

You can find the skit "The Parable of the 10 Boy Scouts" on page eight of the following link.

This would be a good opportunity to gain credit towards the service hour and activity requirements.

If you have any questions you can reach me at 676-9575.

Subj: Astronomy Merit Badge

Dr. Legan will be helping the scouts with the Astronomy Merit Badge this Saturday evening at 7:00 PM (if the weather permits). Anyone interested in this badge should meet at his home located at 1135 Hurricane Hill Rd. I believe he said it is the second left after you cross the Interstate.

It will take a few meetings to make all the observations necessary to complete the badge.

If you have any questions you can contact me at 286-2304 or 676-9575.

I apologize for the short notice.

Subj: Fall Camporee

Parents and Scouts:
Our district camporee will be held September 26, 27 and 28 at the McCurdy farm in Dyer. The theme for this camporee will be Scouting Olympics. The scouts will participate in timed scouting activities and relays. We’ll also be working on advancement requirements for the first year scouts. This will be a great time for them to complete many of the 1st and 2nd Class requirements that they can only get on campouts. We’ll leave the upper parking lot of First Methodist church at 4:00pm on Friday, September 26th.

We must know which boys will be attending no later than this Mondays meeting so that we can make appropriate meal plans. Please reply to this email indicating if your son will be attending. If at all possible, please see that he makes next Mondays meeting so he can help in the planning process.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call or email me.

Thanks
