The World Brotherhood Camporee is set for September 25-27 in Morrisburg, Ontario, Canada.

From Scoutmaster Obernesser:
As mentioned previously, any Scout planning to go to the World Brotherhood needs to have a photo ID and the attached signed permission slip. Adults need an enhanced license or Passport. We need a good head count by 9/16 to coordinate transportation and necessary leadership. The cost is $10 CASH. I will not be at the 9/23 meeting so it is important that everyone planning to go has paid by 9/16.

Subject: Re: Community Service Opportunity for Scouts

Hello everyone…

One last shout out regarding the Utica Zoo’s, Cultures & Creatures event this Saturday — a community service opportunity for scouts interested in helping with the event clean up.

If you’re volunteering on Saturday, please arrive by 6pm, at the Utica Zoo. I will meet you and your scout at the entrance, by the gift shop at that time. I will give everyone gloves and bags for collecting garbage around the zoo.

At this point I think there are 4-5 scouts who have signed up – we’ll send them out in two groups to collect together and they will be done no later than 8pm!

Parents are encouraged to come along and help. The event does not end until 7pm and it promises to be a lot of fun! Please spread the word – it’s free too!
