Troop Scoop

April 2010

Welcome to the first addition of our new troop scoop - My name is Karen and I am going to try and get you the most up to date information about troop 35 on a monthly basis.  I would like make this a more informal way of getting the news you need and I would welcome input and any questions.  If I cannot answer them I will get the answer for you.  Starting next month the troop scribe will also be adding any info he feels is relevent.

April 6 - 7:30 - 9:00 -  PLC (patrol leader council) meeting - if you are not on PLC you do not need to attend.
April 8 - 7:00 - 9:00 - parent / adult leader meeting - this is a great meeting to attend to get all the scoop on upcoming events and have your questions answered directly. Scouts do not attend.
April 11 - 5:00 - 7:00 pm - Swim test at Glen Ellyn YMCA.  This is required if your scout is going to attend summer camp.  Your scout does  not need to have taken years of swimming lessons or be the next Michael  Phelps to pass.  This is so the camp knows their level of proficiency and ensures their safety while at summer camp.  Please bring $5 and the 'Hold Harmless' agreement with you to the YMCA on Sunday.  This document was sent to you on the 5th from Mark Armstrong.
April 13 - 7:30 - 9:00 - Scout Meeting
April 20 - 7:30 - 9:00 - Scout Meeting
April 23 - 25 - is the US President Grant Boy Scout Pilgrimage in Galena, IL and Campout at Mississippi Palisades State Park in Savanna, IL.  The cost is $35.00 and is due with the permission slip at the scout meeting on the 13th.  This permission slip was also sent out on the 5th from Mark Armstrong.
April 27 - 7:30 - 9:00 - Scout Meeting
