Scouts, before boy scout camp, there is Alpenfest! Every year we assist our sponsor Kiwanis Club of Gaylord, Michigan at the Dime Toss Booth. Please check out the sign up sheet and sign up to volunteer. Younger scouts need a parent to supervise. 2 scouts per time slot.

Summer Camp is just around the corner! Mr. Adams has done a fantastic job of organizing and preparing the troop trailer. Your fellow scouts Ben, Quade, Patrick and Scoutmaster spent time washing pots and pans, utensils, a Patrol Box and repairing and organizing dry box. Are you getting your things packed and organized for camp? It's not too soon, get started!
* You should have your physical completed before camp
* If you are attending camp, please attend the scout meeting Monday at 7 p.m. at Bagley Hall.
* Pack well, and bring a mess kit (plate, utensils, cup). No excuses. If you don't bring a mess kit, you will purchase one at camp or it will be charged to your account. BRING ONE.
* Work on your prerequisites for your merit badges.
At our meeting we will finish cleaning out 2 more patrol boxes, discuss equipment, organize drivers, and finalize plans etc.
Looking forward to a great camp this summer!
