Reading Merit Badge – Mrs. Clower has an opportunity for you if you’re interested in working on this merit badge. From June 22nd through July 1st, Monday through Thursday each week from 09:00am - noon, she’ll be at the Media Center at Skyline Elementary. Four related service hours are required for this MB and helping at the Media Center will count. If interested, please contact Mrs. Clower at (405) 762-6310 to get started on the service hours and the rest of the requirements.
Additional Committee Meeting – There was so much to cover at Monday’s Committee Meeting that a continuation/follow-up meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, July 1st at 6:00pm in the Scout Hut. We will continue to review Eagle Projects and conduct Boards of Review. In addition, we’ll be discussing additional summer adventure options. Although I don’t have the full list that’s being considered, caving at Alabaster Cavern’s has been suggested as well as the Red Rock Ranch. Please come with ideas so that we can make the most of our summer.

Summer Camp – Wrap-up
We’re in the last couple days of Summer Camp. Although it’s been a little wet, the Scouts are having a fun time and getting a great deal accomplished. Some key items as we wrap-up:
Family Night – Join your Scouts on Friday for family night. You may begin arriving anytime after 4:00pm to tour the site. Dinner will be served at 6:00pm in the Dining Hall which will be followed with a campfire that will be full of song and skits.
Saturday – The Scouts will break camp on Saturday morning for their return to Stillwater. Upon arrival at the Scout Hut, they will unload the trailer and clean up the van prior to release. Calls will be made as they approach town, but anticipate an arrival around 11:00am.
Pictures – We have some pictures that were taken by Mr. Gragg that are posted on our website at the below listed address. We will be adding to this as we had a number of photographers shooting pictures
http://www.bsatroop818.com/CampingPictures&Pages/2010SummerCamp/index.html
Summer Camp – Family Night – Friday evening of Summer Camp is “Family Night.” This is an opportunity for families to come visit their Scouts and tour the camp. You may arrive anytime in the late afternoon after 4:00pm.
Dinner will be served in the dining hall at 6:30pm for a nominal charge. We’ll need a count if you’re interested in eating with us, so let us know on Sunday when the Scouts are dropped off at the Scout Hut.
At the end of the evening there will be a campfire that will be full of song and skits.
Youth Protection Training – The BSA Guidelines have changed regarding this training. Although all active adult leaders have been required to take this training, they now must renew the certification every two years. To take training, logon to My Scouting at the following address:
https://myscouting.scouting.org/_layouts/MyScouting/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f_layouts%2fAuthenticate.aspx%3fSource%3d%252f&Source=%2f
Safe Swim Defense, Safety Afloat and Weather Hazards – Leaders that will be assisting with our summer canoe meetings at the lake need to be certified in these three courses. They may be taken on the My Scouting site. Each certification is good for two years.

Scout Notes - Monday, June 14, 2010
Summer Camp – Last Minute Items
Summer Camp is just around the corner. Some things to consider:
Departure – We will depart from the Scout Hut on Sunday at 13:00 or 1:00pm, whichever comes first. Please show up no later than 12:30 so that we may load your gear and tie up any loose ends.
Travel Attire – We will travel to and from WRSR in our Class A Uniforms. Under each uniform, please be wearing your swimsuit and have your towel handy. One of the first things you’ll be doing upon check-in is the swim test.
Medications – If you have any medications, please take them with you in the car/van, separate from your personal gear. During check-in you will meet with a medical officer that will want to see your medications.
Water – Bring a Nalgene to carry around camp. It’s summer in Oklahoma, so it’s critical that you drink plenty of water during your time at camp.
Rain Gear – As always, bring your rain gear. A dry Scout is a happy Scoutmaster.
Shoes/Boots – You may not wear open-toe shoes at camp and can only go barefoot in the pool. Because your shoes/boots will get wet, it’s good to have a second pair.
Cots – If possible, please bring a cot for your son. A week on the ground is manageable, but uncomfortable.
Sun Screen/Bug Spray – Be prepared. Don’t be lunch for the bugs or the sun.
Packing – It’s best to pack your personal gear in the large plastic “Tupperware” containers that can be placed beneath/beside your cot. It will keep everything dry and stacks well in the trailer.
Fun – Focus on your advancement and merit badges, but also remember to have fun. Will Rogers is a great camp, full of all kinds of adventure and soon-to-be memories.
Summer Camp – Family Night – Friday evening of Summer Camp is “Family Night.” This is an opportunity for families to come visit their Scouts and tour the camp. You may arrive anytime in the late afternoon after 4:00pm.

Scout Notes - Monday, June 7, 2010
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.
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:

Missing Information: Some forms are still missing Medical Insurance Card information or a completed Section C. If you’ve not provided this yet, please do so when we meet again on Monday, June 7th. A copy of the current status for each Scouter is attached as a pdf to these notes.
Committee Meeting – We will be holding a brief Committee Meeting for all that can make it on Monday the 7th. This meeting will be held during the regular Troop Meeting and will be brief. Items to be covered include:
Summer Camp Prep
