Medical Forms
There's a new Council policy: all medical forms need to be signed by the scout's parent each year. See Liz to see if you need to re-sign your scout's medical form.

The next leader meeting is on August 27th at 12:30 pm at ETC.

Webelos Jamboree & Court of Honor
The Webelos Jamboree is September 15-17 at Menomonee Falls Park. On September 17th at the campsite will be our next Court of Honor.

Where: Menomonee Falls Park
W220 N7884 Townline Road, Menomonee Falls

When: September 15 - 17

Time: Arrive at ETC on September 15 at 4:30 pm
Depart ETC at 5 pm

Like at the May Court of Honor, pick up is at the campsite after the Court of Honor rather than coming back to ETC.

Remember to bring a bag lunch for Friday, September 15th's dinner.

Please have permission slips back by August 22, 2006.

Wreath Sale
Once again we're going to be holding a wreath sale to help scouts raise money for Summer Camps and Outings. Keep in mind the long-term summer camp goals while you fundraise.

Order Forms will be available at the August 22nd troop meeting. The wreath sale will begin September 1st and run through the popcorn sale (October 24).

Final DUE DATE for orders is at the October 24th Troop Meeting. Order forms CAN be turned in early so they don't get lost. If you want to go out in September and turn in your order form then go out again in October -- GO FOR IT!

Popcorn Sale
As long as we're talking wreaths, let talk popcorn. The Council popcorn sale will run October 7 through October 24. Orders forms will be available in September. Order forms will be due at the October 24th Troop Meeting.

FYI, the Council has switched it's popcorn distributor. This year we will be selling Pecatonica River Popcorn.

Troop Elections
Nominations for SPL, ASPL, PL (Dragon Slayers) and APL (Dragon Slayers) will be August 8th at the Troop Meeting. We're also looking for volunteers for the positions of Troop Guide, Chaplain's Aide, Quarter Master, Instructor and Scribe.

Elections will be held at the last Troop Meeting in August and will be announced in September.

SPL & ASPL require 2nd Class or higher rank.

Summer Camp
A note from Mr. Schramke: He found about 90% of the boys he told “your feet are on the wrong legs” looked to see if he was right (some more than once... Ha ha on you).
Our Camp This is our snazzy gate...
Sitting around the campfire... Canoeing...
