A reminder that merit badge schedules were distributed two weeks ago. I highlighted badges that have pre-requisites. Make sure you review those requirements and start your pre-work. Get blue cards from Mr. Gormly and check the troop website for a list of merit badge counselors. If you have questions about pre-work or need help connecting with a counselor, come see me.
A list of pre-reqs can also be found at danbeard.org/campforms under Camp Friedlander forms.
We are working on rescheduling another swim test date. Tentatively we are looking at June 10 from 2-3 at the Mason Community Center. We hope to have that confirmed soon.
