Scout Notes - Monday, August 9, 2010

Monday Lake Meeting – We will plan to meet at Lake McMurtry on Monday to continue work on the Canoeing Merit Badge. We can use all senior Scouts available to assist with the solo canoe requirements. Due to vacations, it’s possible that we may not have someone to pull the trailer out to the lake, so stay tuned in case we need to reschedule and have our meeting in the Scout Hut.

Black Mesa Campout Recovery – We have tents set up in the Scout Hut from our Black Mesa campout. We need to get these down soon. If there are Scouts available on Saturday, please let me know and we’ll see if we can set up a time in the afternoon to get things put away.

Jamboree Closing Ceremony – If you get a chance, watch the video feed from the closing ceremony at the National Jamboree. I was very impressed with the talk that Mike Rowe, from Dirty Jobs, gave. If you wish to jump to his talk, look for the tag that’s about midway through the ceremony. Worth viewing. Here’s the link:
