Next week we plan to have Keith Routley talk on his job as curator at Ft. Stanwix.  This is one of two requirements everyone needs to complete the American Heritage MB from the Camporee to Stone Fort in Schorarie.  The other requirement is to look up your family history and show where any ancestors participated in an history event in American History (or not).

Scouts need to bring their Scout Handbook so that we can record their progress toward rank advancements.  They should also bring any MB work to complete salesmanship, ( look up job opportunities and education requirements).  Also bring their fitness calendar or monthly record.

We will also need a head count for the end of the year picnic on June 14.  It will be at St. Thomas Church starting at 6 PM.  The troop will supply the meats, rolls, condiments, tableware etc.  We are asking that each family bring a dish to put on the buffet table, (salads, fruit, tomato pie, dessert etc.).  Michelle Connelly will be coordinating the dishes and getting the head count.  Your entire immediate family is welcome to attend.  We will hold the Court of Honor, (awards ceremony)following dinner.

Lastly, if anyone is interested in attending the Field and Stream weekend at Camp Kingsley on June 9-11, you must register on- line at the Council website Leatherstockingcouncil.org   The cost is $50/ Scout and $36 /adult.  This includes a snack on Friday, BLD on Saturday and B on Sunday and all the program materials.  Events include fishing, shot gun for 12+, archery, ax throwing, Fish and Wildlife MB, a conservation project, games and more.  Sign up will end soon. Don’t miss out.
