Several Scouts have expressed interest in having their non-Scout friends join their patrol.

Having your friends in Scouting makes your experience even better.

Now is a great time to have friends join so they can participate in upcoming events and summer camp.

The Troop has committed to supply several Girl Scout units with tents for the Northville Encampment in addition to the tents our Scouts will need.  Please return all troop tents by May 5th so that we can inventory and fix all tents to determine how many we can lend out.

To avoid accountability issues, all lending of troop equipment must be pre-approved by the Scoutmaster and coordinated by the Quartermaster.  Pre-approved GS equipment requests will be issued and returned at Mill Race only.

This weekend's 1st Year Skills campout was a great success.  Thanks to Nikhil for organizing the weekend and all the parents that helped out.  We have an enthusiastic group of 1st year Scouts that now have a great jump on their basic skills.  A couple of post trip items:

Gear

• Tents should be opened up to air out immediately after the campout.  If time doesn't allow to do so the same day, the tent can be cleaned with water and a sponge later.  Click here for cleaning instructions.  Scouts need to check the tent in with the Quartermaster (please do not just leave at a meeting).
• Check the gear your Scout brough home for items that may not be yours; you can return at the meeting.  Many Scouts report missing gear.  Please put your name on everything you bring to camp.   
• Scouts that purchased patrol food, please turn in your receipts to the front desk. For future consideration, patrols bought too much food.  to avoid waste or exceed the patrol's budget, coach your Scout on buying only the quantities required on their Grubmaster sheet.

Advancement

• Complete First Class requirement 4a at home => Scouts need to read the pages in their handbook for this requirement and then tell how this weekend's patrol menu includes the foods from the MyPlate food guide.  On Tuesday, Nikhil or a Scoutmaster can sign off on this requirement.
• Several Scouts completed enough requirements to advance in rank.  These Scouts should request an Advancement form from the Front Desk and proceed with asking the Scoutmaster for a Scoutmaster Conference and then a Board of Review.
• All Scouts should have earned Scout Rank by now.  If you have not, please see a Scoutmaster on Tuesday.  The requirements can be found in the Joining section of the Handbook.   

Photos
