Hello everyone.  Today I will be sending out to each family their Scout Account information.  These sheets are current as of May 1st.  There has been some activity that Steve Newman has been tracking since then and has yet to be posted.  The accounts will be updated as soon as possivble.

This Tuesday, May 15th, is our Spring Court of Honor.  This is when we recognize the Scouts for their achievements over the past several months.  Everyone is invited as wel as friends and family.  The Court of Honor will start at 7PM and will last about 45 minutes.  The event is casual and their is typically a short reception immediately following.

Hello everyone, tonight's message will be short, I hope.

Tomorrow, or today depending on when you see this, is Scout Sunday.  We have been invited, and accepted, to participate in the Scout Sunday services at First Baptist Church of Mandeville.  This should be of no surprise to the Scouts.  We haver discussed it for a couple of weeks now.  We participated last year and we received a very warm welcome from the church, as I believe we will tomorrow.  I know most of our Troop may not belong to this church, but they are our Charter Organization and they do not ask much of us.  'Scouts are Reverent' and we should go to their mass as a show of appreciation and thanks for them being there for us.  And the parents are also invited to participate with us.  If you are attending, please show up in Class A.  We need to be there no later than 10AM to meet up with Mr. Steve.

Only a few issues for this week’s update.  First is the campout next weekend (January 21 thru 23) at 5 Lakes.  Registration for this event is not what was anticipated.  We will be completing 'Totin Chip' requirements as well as working on an environmental service project.  Remember, service hours are required for advancement.  It is our goal to have every Scout advance one rank by the May CoH.  If you plan on attending, please go to the website and register.  If you are not attending, please go to the website and provide your regrets.  The last-minute registrations lately are making it extremely difficult to plan these events.  For those who have registered, thank you.

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!  I hope most had a very Merry Christmas and enjoyed the holiday time with their families.

So, we had our semi-annual planning conference Saturday at the Hub.  It was great and only a few were not there.  Here are some highlights.

I hope everyone had a woderful Thanksgiving.  There's Just one note for tonight.  I will be emailing everyone their recharter information today.  Please look it over carfully and let me know if there are any mistakes.  These fees will be due no later than the committee meeting on Tuesday, Dec 14th.  That is not a typo.  I will be working on the 7th and the committee meeting will be on the 14th.  This meeting needs to be attended by all parents.  There will be a lot to go over so please make plans to attend.
