Those participating need to prepare their own flags (capture the flag game) and bring to camporee.  
 
Thanks to Midlo, Gray, Pratt families we have 3 canoes.  Need more canoes. If you have one the scouts can use please respond to this email.  Even if your scout isn't participating if you would be willing to loan your canoe to the troop for the weekend it would minimize our cost to rent.

5.  Thanks to all the parents who attended the Merit Badge Informational Briefing and signed up at the Scout Meeting 16 Aug.  We have an established goal to recertify previous counselors, and certify new counselors no later than 8 Sep.  For those of you still interested please contact me directly, Lou Rivera-Murray, 907-748-4350.  A second information meeting will be held.  If you are already a counselor, I will send a separate email with instructions.  I am checking the Merit Badge Listing which was updated July 2015 and there are some of our parents, and ASM's that are no longer on the list which may mean you need to recertify or you have graciously chosen to withdraw your name from the list (either way I will verify with individual parents

Please respond to this email if you cannot attend the meeting so we don't miss the opportunity to share your talent with our scouts.
