Wings over Northern Michigan Air Show!

Air Show this weekend! Please arrive at the airshow to camp no earlier than 6:00 pm Friday. They will not be serving dinner Friday night, only crackerbarrel later in the evening. Remember, scouts, to be prepared for weather conditions. Though it seems rain is unlikely, the forecast is calling for sunny skies and temps in the upper 80s, putting sunscreen, hat and water bottles high on the list of the essentials. Sunburn and dehydration are no fun, so remember the scout motto and Be Prepared! Free admittance to the airshow for the scout (because he will be volunteering) and to the parent/leaders who attend and volunteer for a shift parking or helping at camp with the direction of Mr. James Lake who will be the adult in charge this weekend, with the help of the Arndt's, Monte's, Clink's, and Mr. Reynolds who will be doing the grocery shopping. Mr. Arndt will bring the troop trailer. Don't forget your Class A shirt, Class B shirt and any supplies needed for camping. Have fun! Take pictures and send them to scoutmaster if you want them posted.

Mr. Lake has been working with the St. Andrew's Society of Northwestern Michigan, a Scottish cultural society, which will have representatives at the Highland Games, a new event at the Air Show this year. He plans to lead a visit to the event at some point Saturday, and hopefully arrange a time when our Scouts can ask questions about the games and Scottish culture, which could be used toward the American Cultures merit badge. Even if you're not interested in the merit badge, it is still a very cool event to watch.
