Jamboree 2017

Scouts and Parents

1.  NO SCOUT MEETING ON SUNDAY!!!!!!

2.  There will be a Patrol Leader's Council Meeting at 7:00 with Mr. Lundgren at the JLC.  Any scouts currently in leadership positions are encouraged to attend as you will be planning the Scout Calendar for the next quarter.  We do have a lot of activities potentially scheduled but it is up to the PLC.


3.  Realize this seems in the very distant future but if your son is interested in going to the National Jambo in 2017 certain commitment need to be now.  This information has circulated for months but there has been a poor response to council. Earlier this week when I attended the "Roundtable" meeting with other Troops it was announced there would be a meeting but I did not receive a clear deadline which could impact our scouts until today.  Therefore, I needed to send out a troop all email.  To attend you must be 13 and first class rank by the start of the Jamboree.

The council needs to figure out how big the contingent of AK Scouts will consist of and therefore if you or your son plan on taking part in this once every four year event it's important you do two things.

     1.  Inform Mr. Puterbaugh at 351-8816 or respond to this email about your interest and take the necessary steps to register your son/yourself.  The final cost of this trip has not been decided but it will not be more than $4,000 per person (includes flight, food, 10 days camping, and a few sight-seeing opportunities).

     2.  Take part in meeting tommorow at Camp Gorsuch with the Council representative either in person or via webinar. Meeting information to follow.  If joining the webinar please ensure you are available to do this a suggested 20 minutes prior to the meeting so that you may join the conversation.
