Who:  Any identified Merit Badge Counselors who have already volunteered to teach (so far we have Aviation, Personal Management, Communications, Citizenship of the Nation, music, art, scholarship, traffic safety and automotive maintenance)  We would like to offer 12 courses.  We will also be having the 2nd Annual Dutch Oven Master Chef team competition.  We have so many opportunities to teach our scouts.  If you want to be a Merit Badge Counselor please come; let me help you with the process. Additionally, any one who wishes to volunteer with food prep, overnight supervising of the scouts, or any other duties that come up during this 2 1/2 day event.  

When:  Planning Meeting 5 October, at 7:00 pm at JLC

You will be seeing many messages from me in the next couple of weeks as this Educational Offering requires a lot of support to ensure its success.  Scouts will be allowed to take a minimum of 3 merit badges and possibly 4 depending on the number of instructors.

Scouts & Parents,
This Sunday's scout meeting will start at 6:00 PM.  We have a lot to get done before the Gladiator Fall Camporee.  All scouts need to bring a matchless fire-starter striker, flint-n-steel, etc..., plus tinder & kindling.  All other matchless fire starters acceptable.  

BOR are Sunday 2 Oct so let me know who's a ready for SM con & advancement.  For those scouts advancing to Star, Life, or Eagle, you must be active in the troop meetings, campouts & activities to be eligible for advancement

Class "A" uniform is now required for all T219 meetings & events, unless otherwise noted.  Also dress for the weather, with jackets/rain gear for the meetings and offsides.  We will be doing as much as we can outside, until we can't & then some.
