Upcoming Outings - Keep An Eye Open for More Information

The FUN in scouting is the outings! We’ve got permission slips out for the outings from now until Summer Camp, but what’s happening after that? Here’s the list... Some of these dates are firm but some are still tentative.

July - Tubing (July 12-14)
August - Ren Faire (August 23-25)
September - Webelos Jamoree (September 13-15)
October - Devil’s Lake (October 4-6)
- Webelos Day Outing (October 26)
- Planning Lock-In (October 26-27)
November - Creep-o-Ree (November 1-3)
December - Eagle Cave (December 7-8)

Having the events is only half the battle... Activities can’t happen without participation -- the Scouts’ and the parents. Save dates on your calendars and keep an eye out for permission slips as things get finalized.

Got Advancement?

Looking to have requirements signed off? Remember, it’s up to you to seek out a scout First Class or Above to test and sign off on your requirements. Once they’ve dated and initialed your advancement sheet, drop it in the box and it will get recorded in Scoutbook. Not in the box or without the initials of whoever signed it off? It doesn’t get recorded.

What about Merit Badges? Once you decide you want to work on a badge, fill out a Blue Card and take it to Mr. Landquist or Mrs. Tahtinen to sign off. They’ll also help you find merit badge counselors. Having issues contacting a counselor? Let Mr. Landquist know so he can help find another counselor.
