Let’s try a re-do on the Canoe Trip! Join the troop as we canoe the Ocklawaha River! We’ll drive up Saturday morning, then get on the river, leaving from Ray Wayside Park. We’ll paddle till we get to Gore’s Landing and pull our canoes in. Bring fishing gear (and a fishing license if you’re over 16) and catch dinner – or at least practice catching fish for your fishing merit badge!

We also need adults to chaperone and have fun on the river!  As always, adults join the troop for free. In addition to enough drivers to chauffeur all the scouts, we will also need 2 tow vehicles for this trip; one for the troop trailer and another for the canoes. Be sure to check the volunteer box on the bottom of your son’s permission slip to join us!

Important message about Summer camp payments.

The total cost per Scout to attend Summer Camp (2012 La-No-Che) is $230 and we are quickly approaching the deadline when the troop needs to pay the camp.

Parents can pay either in a lump sum or following the breakdown as previously communicated:

March 19 - $90

April 23  -  $90 (Due Next Troop Meeting)

May 21   -  $50

The Troop needs at least one payment by April 23rd to hold your Scout's spot.

Summer camp is getting close, time to get everything in order. Here are a few things to make it smoother.

T613 Scouts need to make MB class selection ASAP!!
