Scoutmaster's Minute 05/23/2022

No meeting next week due to Memorial Day.

We conducted a flag retirement ceremony, working through a portion of the flags we have on hand to retire.
 
The scouts worked on advancements and merit badges.  The flag retirement ceremony counted for one of the items for younger scouts.
 
Car Show
Steve Wright pitched the troop helping with the car show June 18 (Jun 19 - weather day). Want help from 5-6 people at 7 to 10 to help with the pancake breakfast. Would like 2-4 through out the day to keep it clean - swapping out bags 10 - 4

The boys need to determine if they want to participate and let Steve know.  He hinted at a donation.  Not sure the amount.  The committee will look at making it part of the fundraising drive this summer, splitting any donation up to the scouts that work the event.
 
Announcements:
Sign-ups for tents are being put together.  We are still nailing down the setup and takedown times.  Again, we will put the majority of the money earned toward the scout's accounts that work. We'll sum up the summer's take and the setups/takedowns worked.  This can be used for scouting related items (registrations, camping, gear, etc).  If you have questions, talk to one of the leaders. 

Summer Camp merit badge signups.  If you haven't already done so, and are going to camp, please sign up for merit badges

Parking for the Steelhead Triathlon on 25-26 June. Be on the lookout for the signup sheet for parking.
