Did you know that Troop 4 scouts earned 35 merit badges at summer camp? With more still in progress?

Troop 4 won a TON of awards! We took 3rd place in Aquafest -- including taking 1st place in the Aquafruit event! Brian K earned Master Climber. We earned 3rd place in a patrol shooting event. We won the Centennial Quality Campsite Award.

Get ready for next year! Remember we're going to a patrol-cooking camp somewhere in Northern Wisconsin.

We are going to meet at the WCTC Construction Technology Parking Lot at 8:30 am. We want to get going as soon as possible so please don't be late. Lunch will be at Bethesda Park at around 12 pm. If you want to meet and have lunch, you are welcome. We will then canoe again take out where Hwy I crosses the Fox River. Pick up is at Hwy I.

When: August 25, 2007

Where: Meet at WCTC Construction Technology Parking Lot at 8:30 am
          Pick up at Hwy I & the Fox River at 5 pm.

          12 people: $20/person
          18 people (maximum): $15/person

In order to canoe, scouts and adults must have passed the BSA swimmer test as either a Class A or a Class B swimmer. Tests were given during the March Outing and at Summer Camp. Only Class A or Class B swimmers can canoe. If you have not tested yet, see Boni Danner to arrange a test by August 14th.

We need a head count as quickly as possible to give everyone the correct cost. Please have your permissions slips in by August 7th.
