Summer Camp Meeting, Monday, June 4, 2018
As a reminder, on Monday, June 4, 2018 during part of the regular weekly meeting, there will be a parent/guardian/Scoutmaster informational meeting regarding summer camp. All scouts who have registered for summer camp and their parent/guardian need to attend. All scouts need to be in full Class A uniform for inspection in preparation for camp. There will also be regular scout activities during the meeting. Scouts are asked to bring their scout books so they can be updated.
Memorial Day Weekend
As a reminder, there is no Troop meeting Monday, May 28, 2018 due to Memorial Day weekend.

We will also meet tomorrow, Tuesday, at East Somerset Baptist Church at 6:00pm to carpool to Russell Springs for swim checks.
Service Hours and Swim Check Tuesday
We will once again be helping Somerset Cemetery place flags at the headstones of Veterans in honor of Memorial Day. We will meet at 10:00am at the front of the cemetery. Scouts need to be in Class A. This is a good opportunity to get service hours and support our Veterans and their families.
Reminder the swim check is Tuesday. Scouts will meet at East Somerset Baptist Church at 6:00pm and carpool to Russell Springs. Scouts must be in Class A. Don’t forget swimsuit and towel. We will return around 8:30pm. Everyone going to summer camp and/or wishing to participate in any aquatics activity during the next year (such as our fall canoe trip) must have a current swim check.
Court of Honor Tonight
Court of Honor tonight at East Somerset Baptist Church at 7:00pm. Scouts must be in full Class A uniform. Family and friends are invited.
Steak & swim check reminders
A steak and baked potato dinner will be provided at 1:30 pm this Sunday, May 20, for all those meeting the troop popcorn sales goal. If you received the popcorn sales T-shirt, you are eligible to eat. We must know – Yes or No – if you plan to attend by Friday afternoon. Call or email Mr. Bullock or Mr. Morton ASAP.
Troop swim checks will be held Tuesday, May 22, in Russell Springs. We will meet at East Somerset Baptist at 6 pm, carpool to the swimming pool, and be back at church about 8:30 pm. We may still need drivers. For those attending summer camp, it is better to take your swim test in a pool than in a lake. All scouts need to take the test for rank, and you are welcome to attend even if you aren’t going to summer camp.
