Do you know that St. Raymond is our troop’s Charter Organization? Can you spare an hour or two to give back to them? Are you available on Saturday, May 11th? Why am I asking all these questions? Because.... I am asking you to help us scouts spread new tan bark at St. Raymond school playground. We’ll be starting the project at 10:30am, and continue until we’re done. The more scouts, the less time it takes to complete the job. Sign up online or in the scout shack. We need to make this service project work, and could really use your help!
Tuesday, April 30 is our next Advancement Night. While this has traditionally been an evening to work on rank advancements, it has slowly turned into an evening for all advancements including merit badges. However, looking over our last few months of advancements, none of our "new" boys has completed a badge since Wente. We have about 45 new scouts.
If your scout is planning on attending Camporee in May or Wente this summer, he must complete the new BSA medical forms. They are available online (see link below). Attached to the scout's medical forms there must also be a copy of the front and back of a medical insurance card. Please be sure to make a master copy for you to keep at home of all forms turned into the troop.
THE ISSUE: The National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America is considering a change or adjustment to the organization’s current membership standards policy with regard to sexual orientation. As a member of the San Francisco Bay Area Council’s Scouting family, it is important that we gather YOUR opinion and input concerning the possible Impacts and Effects of any change to the policy. Whether you are a Chartered Partner Representative or Head, a volunteer leader, a scout, a donor, a Board Member, an employee or a parent, your feedback is important and you are invited to participate in this survey.
