Meeting 1/26/09

This is what the Hawk Patrol did on Monday 26th, at the Boy Scout meeting. It's the Outdoor Code explained.

As an American, I will do my best to

Be clean in my outdoor manners,:

-Pack it in pack it out, don't leave food lying around, don't tell/let other people clean up your trash, keep equipment organized.

Be careful with fire,:

-Don't put things in the fire that shouldn't be there, do not play with fire, do not burn rhododendron.

Be considerate in the outdoors,:

-Respect other campers, when hiking step aside for other hikers/cyclists.

And be conservation minded,:

-Don't pull bark off of live trees, don't erode banks, don't destroy animal habitats.

Summer Camp 2009

Summer Camp is June 7-13 at the conference camp ground. Scouts need to declare their intent to attend within the next week or so. Cost is $250, with portions of popcorn sales available to credit toward each Scouts' cost.

New Year: New Meeting!

I look forward to seeing you tonight at 6:45 at Fellowship Hall. I also want to let you know about the CPR training that we have scheduled for THIS Sunday the 11^th at 3-7 pm. I think we should probably do this in Fellowship Hall unless our instructor David Sperry prefers that we do this in the Christian Ed building.
