Monday, July 6, The Troop will be going over basic gear and supplies: i.e. “day pack, and “night pack” needed for summer camp. Even if a scout is not attending summer camp this year it is encouraged to attend this meeting to brush up on your packing skills and learn a few things. Mr. Erno will be bringing example gear for scouts to take notes.

High Gate has invited the Troop to join in their community activities. The Troop will be assisting and participating in arts and crafts and painting wooden planes, this is a great way to earn service hours as well as continuing our relationship with the community senior center. Date and Time to follow (post summer camp).

Parents and Scouts are encouraged this year to attend this years’ Scout Planning Meeting. The Committee will be holding separate meeting to dedicate and discuss the planning and scheduling of what will become the calendar for the 2026-2027 scout year. Email to follow (time and location: TBD).

The July Committee meeting will be held on Monday, July 20th instead of July 13th due to the conflict of summer camp this year. Leaders and Scouts who would like to join may attend since we will be continuing our discussion and planning for our Big 50th year anniversary celebration.

Starting June 15th, we will begin holding our outdoor meetings at the Lake Village Amphitheater. For outdoor meetings Scouts should wear their Class B uniforms and bring a water bottle each week. We look forward to a great summer of outdoor meetings.

Leadership binders have been distributed to all scouts serving in a Position of Responsibility. Each binder includes a description of the position, an outline of responsibilities, and tools and guidance to help our new leaders succeed.
