Welcome back from your long road trip, guys & parents! I enjoyed seeing the pictures from Mary that she posted on the Troop Facebook page! I hope more of you will post pictures as well as captions and comments about the pictures so we who didn’t get to go can find out more.
Troop 320 from Pennsylvania wanted me to pass along their thanks to all the Scouts and Parents from troop 151. They had a great time. They enjoyed the tour of Seattle on Saturday. They loved Camp Parsons and agreed it was the best Scout Camp they had attended. Their leadership group met with Brad Allen of the Chief Seattle Council and praised Troop 151 and their Scoutmaster (that would be me) for helping them with their trip palns and for showing them a great time. Brad Allen came to our campsite and thanked me and our Troop for hosting and showing Troop 320 a great week. Thanks to everyone for their help with this task.
The location of the June campout has changed. We were going to Jim Creek for the Cope course, due to the high cost and age limits we are not going to Jim Creek. We are going camping on Blake Island. Logan Gilbert’s grandfather has once again offered us the use of his boat for the trip to Blake island. We will meet at Bob’s house at 8:00. We will need driver to take us to the marina. More information will be given out at Monday meeting June 8th.
More info about the upcoming Summer Road Trip has been posted under the Info menu on the website. Take a look and bookmark to keep up to date: http://www.troop151.net/?page_id=126.
We have a rock climbing trip planned at Feathers rock on the weekend of the 16th of May. It is imperitive that you be at the Troop meeting this monday to receive the training necessary for the rock climbing outing if you are planning to go on the trip. We do not plan on providing this instruction again onsite, so anyone who does not attend this training/safely session will not be allowed to participate.
Note also that the second $100 payment for Camp Parsons will be due at the end of May.
Since next week is spring break and over half of the troop will be gone on vacation, the regularly schedule patrol meeting onthe 13th has been changed to a swimming night. Come and practice for the BSA swim test or come and help those who still need the practice!
Several fun & interesting activites have been planned for the campout at Rasar State Park this coming 18th-19th. A GPS and Compass challenge, a scavenger hunt in the tall grass, and swimming in the river.
Planning for the summer trip to California is still in progress, but progress is steady. Accomodations have been found at very reasonable rates and other plans are continuing well so far.
