Camping and Backpacking Fundamentals

We will be meeting at the Church on Wednesday at 7:00 pm, and we have a guest presenter who will teach us about camping and backpacking fundamentals.  I'm especially interested in the backpacking portion myself.

Parents, don't forget that if your son is going to Summer Camp we still need merit badge selections - ASAP.  Please give me a call if you need help with this.

Klondike Gear Check

We will be meeting at the Mack's house at 7:00 this week for our Klondike gear check and for leadership elections. 

For Klondike, please bring your gear and permission slips tomorrow.  (I've fixed the permission slip on the server so you should be able to download it).  On Friday we will be leaving from the Church at 3:00 and returning by 3:00 on Saturday.

For elections, being absent doesn't exempt you.  Anyone First Class or higher is eligible for election, with preference by age.  We will elect a new Patrol Leader, Grubmaster, Historian, and Quartermaster.

I will also be handing out Blue Cards from the Pow Wow.  Looks like we had quite a few merit badges earned and a few partials too.  Hang on to these as your personal record of completion.  They are irreplaceable.

And we all came back alive!

A special thanks to all the parents who helped support today's snowshoeing event.  We had a great time.  The pictures are up on the server now, and I've reloaded the permission slip too, so hopefully you can access it.  I tested access to all the other files and you should be good to go.

Winter Wonderland

We have a really 'cool' event planned for this week - snowshoeing and ice-caves!  We will be driving up Big Cottonwood canyon to a place known by a select few mountain men, several forest animals, and Doug Bagley, where we will take a 3/4 mile hike (each way) to Doug's secret sledding wonderland.  While there we will cook and eat lunch, learn about and build snow caves, and maybe get a little sledding in if there is time.

This is a winter event, so please make sure you follow the proper layering guidelines -
Synthetic base layer > wool or fleece warming layer > wind and waterproff layer
No tennis shoes - winter boots only

We will meet at the Mack's (6044 W Intrigue Drive) @ 11:00 am Saturday.  Please be sure to bring water, snacks, and a signed permission slip for yourself.

Activity Tonight

This is Melinda posting for Jason who is out of town this week and unable to access his blog.  I have no idea what the activity is and honestly had no time to find out what it was. I recommend contacting Tanner Hart or Brother Finlay at 801-878-9800 for help regarding time and place.  I do know it is a combined activity.  Jason will be back next week and the posts will be more useful then.  Sorry.
