1. We will be holding a Court of Honor for 1 Merit badge and 2 rank advancements next Wednesday.
2.   We will also be conducting an Order of the Arrow election. Order of the Arrow is the honor program for Scouts. We have 3 Scouts who are eligible this year.  We need to have the majority of our Scouts in attendance to complete the election process.
3. We will be conducting a leaders/parents planning meeting to complete the calendar through August.
4. We will be conducting our annual Friends of Scouting Campaign.  This is our opportunity to support then Scouting program financially. It may interest you to know cost to bring the Scouting program to the youth of our community is approximately $1000/ year.  About 40% comes from the Council’s endowment.  The remainder comes from camp revenues, special fund raising events, grants from local foundations and the Friends of Scouting campaign.

We ask that at least one parent from each family attend and of course the entire family is welcome to attend.

We need to have a final head count on the Spring trip May 11-12 to Albany.  Early bird payment for summer camp is due at Seneca Waterways council by April 19.  I will be out of town April 10-14, so I would like to have final payments next Weds.  If you don’t know how much you owe, call me.
