As we approach our next Court of Honor, scouts will be interested in advancement and positions of responsibility.  Here are some highlights.

• There is space available for Summer Camp at Lost Pines the last week of June. Reserve your spot by Feb 28. (This was originally Feb 1, but the registration deadline changed.)
• Please commit to the Current River Trip by March 1. We need a few more people to make the bus reservation, otherwise we need to add extra days for travel.
• At the 2/28 meeting (board of review deadline)
• Campout prep and planning
• Final boards of review

Please signup for the Basics and Cooking campout so we can plan the details.  The morning will focus on the newer Scouts learning from the more experienced Scouts.  The afternoon will feature optional activities like games, merit badges, and rank requirements.
