Annual Health and Medical Record – I’m sorry to report that we are unable to find the Scout Physcials that we had on file for the Ouachita Trek. I’m hopeful that they’ll still turn up, but they apparently never made it back from the trek and into our records file. I’ve turned the office upside down and would ask again for all leaders that went on the Ouachita Trek to please check your gear.
Because we’re unable to find the records, we will need each Scout to and Leader to have another form completed. Or, if you kept a copy for your own records, please provide us with another copy. Below is the link to the website that contains the blank forms:
http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/34605_Letter.pdf
All Scouts that participated in the physicals this past Monday, we have your forms in our files. We will also be digitizing them to provide additional backup.
Missing Information: Some forms are still missing Medical Insurance Card information. If you’ve not provided this yet, please do so when we meet again on Monday, June 7th. I hope to get a note out to those of you that are missing information.

Hut and Van Cleanup – Thank you for everyone that pitched in to help clean the Scout Hut and the Van as we recovered from the Work Day campout. Everything looked good.
Safety at Meetings – I was alerted Monday evening after our meeting that some of our Scouts had been playing in potentially dangerous areas within the St. Francis Xavier property. Specifically:
Recycling Bin – Some Scouts had climbed into the recycling dumpster located in the SE corner of the parking lot.
Window Well – Some Scouts were climbing into the window well that’s located on the east end of the church, next to the alley.
In either case noted above, serious injury or property damage could occur. In the future, please avoid these areas and any other potentially dangerous situations. We want you to have fun, but your safety is our primary concern.
