Meeting Activities
Scouts worked on advancements, played a game with cups, and capture the bacon. They enjoyed doughnuts as a reward for the past few weeks’ competitions. Some Scouts took home blue water jugs to purify before use. Use 1 cap of bleach for 1 gallon of water to clean them inside and out. Rinse and return to the next meeting. If your Scout marched in the parade as a Scout, they can get 4 hours of community service signed off by Mr. Dansfield.
No meeting next week!
Enjoy your holiday weekend!

Tent Sign up!
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.
May Patrol Events
Each patrol needs to have a patrol activity in May. Please send your ideas to your patrol leader to discuss at the next meeting. Once you decide on an event and get adult approval, invite the girls’ patrol and the SPL & ASPL.
