3.  Mrs. Strickland and Mrs. Rivera-Murray will be convening a Merit Badge Informational Meeting.  We are recertifying, adding counselors, planning Merit Badge Lock-In 22 Oct- 24 Oct.  Date may change by one day but keep this weekend in mind.  We are just 9 weeks away from this event.  We need interested merit badge counselors, volunteers (we will give you a task) and no task is too small...(Advancement is huge for our troop and we want your participation and feedback).  We will have another meeting  same topic occuring within the next 2 wks...TBA.  Goal to have information and appropriate forms to council NLT 5 September
 
Who:  Interested Parents, Merit Badge Counselors and Want-to-be Counselors
What: Advancement Restructure and Merit Badge Lock-In Planning Meeting
When:  During the Sunday Scout Meeting.  7:15-7:45
Where:  JLC Library
 
Note:  Received email or direct feedback from 13 Scouts and 7 Parents.  We will have forms available at the meeting but please take your time to think about this.  Scouts what I need is for you to look at the merit badges and put in number order 1 the badges you most want to earn and go through to 10 and put the number next to the badge.  We are structuring a program so that you may earn what you need and also what you want.  Important we receive Scout and Parent input.  
 
Thanks
YIS
