Bring back large white coolers!
We are missing 3 large white coolers! They are needed for the Mackinac trip that packs up THIS Thursday! If you have one or more, bring them to the shed immediately and email Mr. Lorenz. They do not have enough freezer space for the food they need on the island without the 3 coolers. If you have any tents or other Troop items, bring them too. Lock items in the shed so nothing gets stolen.
Meeting Activities
Scouts heard a presentation on how to look out for human trafficking (handout attached), held elections, worked on advancements, played outside and had a meeting to prepare for summer camp.
Mackinac group packing this Thursday & Friday, most driving up Saturday to get there before noon!
Find coolers! Check your latest communications from leadership, with your patrol leader, and rides to be sure to be ready and up early enough to get to your destination before noon! You probably need to leave 4-5am to get there on time.
No meeting July 8th!
Most of our leadership will be at Mackinac so we will skip the regular meeting on the 8th. Use your extra time to get prerequisites done for Summer Camp.

Philmont Pictures
For everyone who went to Philmont, check your email for a link to upload your pictures. You will need them for the presentations you will give in the future and we’d like to add some of them to the Troop website.
Tent Sign up! We need non-Mackinac people for July 12, 13, 14th!
We need more people! The link below is for Scouts to sign up for tent setups. A couple of new things this year. 1) Columns are listed for scout or parent cell-phone numbers so a reminder text can be sent to those scouts signed up. 2) We need 2-3 scouts to help Mr. Dansfield with loading the trailer before a set-up. 3) Parents are also welcome to sign up for the setups. Their scout will get the credit for the parents' help.
Cook for Concerts
Thanks for working this past Friday! We don’t have one in July, see you August 2nd. On concert days, we ask that you arrive at the church around 5 p.m. and begin working with Jim Dansfield and any other troop leaders in preparing the cook tent. If you're available also for helping set up for the concert itself, please reach out to Mr. Dansfield. Thank you -- we hope these opportunities are great for service hours and fundraising for the Troop!

Summer Camp, July 21-27
Colin Peek and Colton Smith volunteered to figure out recipes, ingredients, and tools needed for cobbler and hot dog mac and cheese for the potluck. We need 25 servings of both. Other Scouts need to bring ideas for skits, songs, and table decorations.
We have selected our leaders, the 2 groups will be decided soon. There will be more responsibilities and preplanning needed since we need to cook all meals ourselves that week. We could also do special activities like tubing down a river, so check out what they offer and tell your leaders what you want to try. Reservations are needed before we get there. Get your physical forms ready. They need to be current (done after July 27, 2023).
We are going to Cole Canoe Base! Our Summer Camp week is July 21-27 and the cost per Scout is $385. There is a discount for siblings. Please email [email protected] if you want to go to camp. Bring your payment to the next meeting and she will send you a link to update your Scout’s info so you can choose merit badge classes and water adventures. Merit Badge/Activity selection is open! Click on the following link and then update info for your Scout.
Below is the link to all Health forms. Fill out the one for over 72 hours. Always keep your originals and give copies.
