It looks like the weather will cooperate to allow us to hold the parents meeting in the legion hall.  In case it turns out that the weather prevents the scouts from being outside then I will send out mail tomorrow afternoon.

There will be meeting for parents of new scouts (or any parent who wants a refresher) to introduce them to how the troop runs, advancement, trips, summer camp, and any other topics you would like information on.  This meeting will be during the troop meeting on Thursday April 12th with a rain date of Thursday April 26th (the parents take over the function hall while the boys hold their troop meeting outdoors - rain would change those plans).  At least one parent from each family should plan on attending.

The orders for the Class B uniforms have been place with our supplier and should arrive in time to be distributed at the April 26th troop meeting.<

The date of the May sailing trip has been moved from May 12th to May 19th.  More details will be published soon.

The Outdoor channel is starting to re-run its "Scouting for Adventure" series featuring the Boy Scout's high adventure bases.  The first episodes will focus on Sea Base.  Scouts and Parents might find it an interesting pre-view of our 2013 Sea Base trip!

We wil be making signs for the Bike and Sproting Goods sale at this week's troop meeting.  Scouts should bring  2 pieces of cardboard that are 12" x 37" plus any materials that they signed up to bring to the meeting.
