This Week’s Meeting Theme
This week’s meeting theme is a Philmont crew shake down and more wilderness survival skill training.
First Year Theme
This week Patrol time the Troop Guides will discuss using the handbook, keeping records, how to get requirements signed, how to arrange and prepare for Scoutmaster conferences and Boards of Review – such as wearing Class A, what to expect in terms of questions and demonstration of skills, etc. After Patrol time, 1st Years will join Planned troop activities.
Mulch Fundraiser
Due to some repairs needed to Lot C (Tennis Center) where we staged the bagged mulch, we are still finalizing the expenses/payouts for the mulch fundraiser. As soon as this has been completed, payout letters will be distributed to all Scouts. Thank you in advance for your patience as we tie up the loose ends.
Next Outings
Our next outings are the Philmont High Adventure trip and Summer Camp! Busy month, so please stay tuned! More information forthcoming.

Backpacking Events
For our Philmont crews, we have several upcoming hikes planned to prepare for Philmont. Please make every effort to attend as many of these prep hikes as possible.

It’s That Time Of The Year! Annual Swim Check Time
BSA requires annual swim checks for all Scouts and Scouters! You need to pass the swim test every year to participate in any water related activities. This includes summer camp! The Troop has the Mason Community Center reserved for Sundays June 4, and June 11 from 2:00 to 4:00. There will be no cost for members, non members will be charged $7. This will allow swimming after you have finished the Swim Check. Non members need to complete a waiver. To qualify as a Swimmer you need to jump into the pool and swim 100 yards. The last 25 yards must be using the resting or elementary back stroke. Then float on the back for 1 minute. To qualify as a Beginner you need to jump in and swim 25 feet then turn around and swim back. Please make sure to sign-up for one of these checks if you plan on attending any of our water related campouts or summer camp.
Summer Camp Update!
For Summer Camp, we will need Part C of the BSA Health Form completed and signed, with copies of insurance cards. The second payment of $140 will be due no later than May 25th. Please see our Treasurer, Mr. Washington.
