Service
Project opportunity for T210 (and especially for Philmont folks). Working
on Mountain to Sea trail (Durham section) from 8am to 4pm on April 24th.
We will leave the church at 8am. Please give a heads up to Berry Credle (bcredle0820@yahoo.com) or Samantha McGahey (mcgahey.sam@earthlink.net) if you can make it so
that we have enough equipment for the trail repair efforts.
Thanks!

Trip to Philmont
Philmont news for those going out

Court of Honor
Spring
Court of Honor will be Monday, May 24th
There
will be a potluck before the ceremony. So please bring a dish for the potluck.
Drinks and paper products will be provided. If a parent would like to help
coordinate this potluck, please contact Allison Hoyle.
All
blue cards and merit badges must be turned in to Mrs. Hoyle by Monday, May 10th
to be included in this Court of Honor.
Camp Raven Knob
Summer
camp is fast approaching. We have 44 scouts going to Raven Knob this
year. GREAT turnout for certain fun.
Some
things to remember:
- Camp fees this year will be $300 plus the
additional fees for selected merit badges (if they have a charge) and $10
for a group picture (optional) All fees will be due by May
17th. We will be sending out the totals based on each scouts
merit badge picks over the next couple of weeks.
- If you have not done so already, please get your
merit badge picks into us. We are registering them on the CRK
website, which locks them in. Some classes fill up fast, so please
get them in quickly.
- Swim tests will be done on June 5th, 8 AM,
at Cary Swim Club. This is the one across from the Dairy Queen,
not the one behind the mall. Swim tests can be done at CRK if you
can not make this one, but wastes a lot of the campers time on
Sunday. PLEASE do not eat before coming to
do the swim test. This test only takes about 5 minutes.
- If you have not told us what you shirt size is,
please do so. This is for the Raven Knob tee-shirts.
- Please get your physical exams completed.
Remember that the medical forms are new this year, and all must be
done on that new form. IF we have all of the
medical forms by June 1st, we can save a substantial amount of time
standing in line on Sunday when we get to camp. This requires
100% compliance (including adults). Troop 210 has never been able to
do this previously, let's start a new tradition :>)
Mr.
Lackey and Mr. Chartier are co-leading the CRK effort this year (it takes 2
leaders to take over after Mr. Credle:>)
Let
us know if you have any questions. We are looking forward to another
great summer camp.
