Troop 919 Notes 3-8-2010
Hockey Game – The annual “Docs vs Cops” charity hockey game is Saturday, March 20. This game features the doctors of the Wake Forest Bowman Gray Medical Center skating against the Winston-Salem Police Department.
For the last several years Stan Gordon has arranged complimentary tickets to the game for our troop families and Stan has offered the same again this year.
If you and your family would like tickets to this game you need to let Stan know at Tuesday’s Troop meeting. If you are not going to be at Tuesday’s meeting for some reason, the final deadline to let Stan know that you would like complimentary tickets is Wednesday, March 10 at 8 p.m. You can also e-mail Stan with your request.
Bear Island Trip – The final sign-up for our Bear Island canoe trip will be at Tuesday’s Troop meeting.
The trip is next weekend (March 19-21) and there will be a one-the-water canoe practice this weekend. We will have more info on the practice at Tuesday’s Troop meeting.
Service Hours – If you are looking for some service hours you might consider volunteering to help at the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in Winston-Salem on May 1.
Volunteers are needed on the day of the race beginning around 6:30 AM to help with parking, trash and site restoration. This would be an excellent opportunity for Scouts to earn Community Service hours and support a worthy cause all at the same time.
For more information please contact Whitney Drawdy Knott, 2010 NC Triad Race for the Cure Chair at (336) 978-3927 or via email at wed0403@hotmail.com.
Friends of Scouting – If you have not turned in your Friends and Families of Scouting pledge card, please return it in a sealed envelope at Tuesday’s Troop meeting.
Re-Chartering – We still have a few families who have not paid their $15 BSA Re-Chartering fee. Please take care of this at Tuesday’s Troop meeting so our Troop can finalize its Re-Chartering process with the Council on time.
Summer Camp Registration – It’s also time for Scouts to register and pay their deposit for our week at Camp Raven Knob this summer. The initial deposit of $100 is due with registration.
Some important summer camp registration dates:
March 23 – Registration and $100 deposit due
April 6 – Merit Badge Selections due
May 11 – Final summer camp payment due (including program fees)
June 8 – Summer camp swim checks
The summer camp registration packet, including the list of merit badges available can easily be downloaded from the Troop website. Click on the 2010 Summer Camp registration packet link on the mail page (left hand side) of the website.
Please print a copy of the registration page and work with an assistant Scoutmaster to select your merit badges for summer camp.
