Rock Climbing and Summer Camp

1. No meeting on Monday February 16 th due to President's Day Holiday.

2. National Boy Scout dues of $60 per scout and $ 30 per adult leader are past due.

3. Summer Camp at Camp Rainey Mountain this year is $250, broken into three payments. The first payment of $85 is past due. If we don't get this payment at the next meeting, Some scouts may miss the opening of registration in early March. The most highly sought after merit badges such as rifle,  shot gun, welding and any of the eagle merit badges often book out the very day that registration opens. Ms Elaine will be at the meeting February 23 to help scouts make good badge selections. Summer camp is great fun and a great way to gain the merit badges towards Eagle.
