2004-2005 Calendar Planning

The April district committee meeting will be at John and Marsha Wise’s house on April 24.  We will be having a BBQ and everyone should bring a covered dish. This is the time when we put our entire district plan for the upcoming program year onto a calendar to be published in May. Anyone with input is invited and welcome. We will start promptly at 4ish in the afternoon. Plan to be there for at least two hours. If you need directions, give Kelly, John or Marsha a call.

 

Pinewood Derby

The district pinewood derby will be May 22 at the Kirksville Junior High. All Cub Scouts are invited to come race their cars. Weigh in will begin at 11 with races beginning at 11:30. A concession stand will be provided by one of our Venturing crews to go toward Order of the Arrow costumes. We’ll see you there.

 

Merit Badge College

Registration forms will be available at the February roundtable and through the Web site.  In addition to the merit badges, two Webelos activity badges will also be offered. Don't worry, there's also something for the leaders to do. The following training courses will be offered that day to help you pass the time: The Troop Committee Challenge, Scoutmaster Fundamentals, Tiger Cub Den Leader training, Den Leader training, Webelos Den Leader training and Cubmaster training. The trainings for Cub Scout leaders and the Troop Committee Challenge will begin at 9 a.m. and end by noon. Scoutmaster fundamentals will begin at 9 a.m. and end by 3 p.m. There will also be an adult leader only class on working with Scouts with special needs from 9 a.m. to noon.  All pre-registrations for merit badge, Webelos badge and training sessions must be received by April 3, as noted on the registration form.
