Congratulations to these boys!
Parents met to gather information about Summer Camp.
Summer Camp will be July 15th - July 21st, 2007 at the Hale Scout Reservation in
Talihina, Oklahoma. There is a lot of information about the camp at www.halescoutreservation.org
. (Be sure to watch the promotional video - it made me want to go and do
some of that fun stuff!) This is a GREAT opportunity for the boys to
earn fun merit badges - like snow sports (snow
skiing on soap flakes!), horsemanship, wood carving, etc. The Soaring to
Eagle class is highly recommended for first or second year scouts. Check
out the link and decide what looks good to you.
Duane is also looking for "leaders" to help out
during the camp for the full week or a portion of the week. We need 3
leaders at the camp during this week. Below is more information for the
leaders.
