Eagle Scout Project

Dear Fellow scouters,

I am looking for volunteers to help with my eagle project. I am putting in a pathway between Fawn Lake and Heart Lake. We will be putting in a 300 ft. split rail fence and staining it. You will need work gloves, rakes, shovels, post hole diggers and safety glasses. If anyone has a trailer with sides that I could borrow to haul lawn debris, it would be greatly appreciated. It will be held on June 14th from 9:00 to 1:00. I will be having a barbeque following the project at my house for all the volunteers. If it is nice enough bring your swimsuit.

Thank you,
Caleb W.

Wear your Class A uniforms. Try to come if you are able. It is a nice way to pay tribute to the Veterans who have served our country.

Camp Physicals

Parents,

Physicals will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, the 28th and 29th of May, from 5 to 7 in the Professional Medical Building at the Otsego Memorial Hospital. The charge is 15 dollars. If you tell them it is for Boyscouts the hospital will reimburse the money back to the troop and it will be credited to your son's account. You will need a form just for camp Grelick. I will have them at next weeks meeting, but if you want to go get the physical before the meeting you can print one off the council website www.stcbsa.org. You will find it under the documents section in the camp Grelick section. It is called a youth health form. Physicals are good for 3 years. We are working on finding out who has one on file and will hopefully have that at next week's meeting. However, all new scouts and those scouts going to seabase or high adventure will need one. High adventure has a different form and you can get that through the leader in charge of your group. If you have any questions please call me at 732-4038.

Thanks, Ann Wagar
