Camping Merit Badge!

A couple of calendar reminders and updates:

 
  1. The next meeting of Camping Merit Badge V3 is scheduled for Sunday, April 11, 2010 at the Cub Scout Hall.  The meeting time is 12 Noon.  We will be doing a pack check and then we will travel to to Ames Nowell State Park to "find a campsite" (part of Requirement #3) using a map, compass and GPS device.  If you have a handheld hiking type GPS unit please bring it with you to this meeting.
  2. The overnight backpacking trip whose purpose is to meet Requirements 9b (1) and (2) is scheduled for May 8-10, 2009.  This is Mother's Day weekend.  Nearly all the families were polled and all are fine with this date.  Lack of available dates forced us to use this weekend which is also in an already busy month. 
 
Camping Merit Badge V2.0 members:  If you would like to go on this backpacking trip on a space available basis please contact Mr. Baker.

Please join Troop 41 and Packs 11 and 41 on these two dates as we help support

Each year our goal is to exceed the previous
year's total collection.  Mrs. H has, once again, stepped forward to oversee the event. She will be handing out route assignments.  Please pick up your route assignment early.  Bags can be distributed anytime Saturday or even Sunday of the first weekend.   So, let's work together to support our community. Adults with cars, vans, station wagons and trucks are needed, especially on collection day.  Siblings and friends are invited to assist in any way they can. Remember, many hands make light work. 

Uniform:  Class B (Troop 41 sweatshirt optional)
