Mulch
From the mulch team:
Saturday Apr 7th is the big mulch delivery! If you sold mulch this year you are expected to help deliver. Please be at the church for check-in by 8:00 AM this Saturday. Ensure that you have the proper clothing since it is going to be in the 40’s Saturday (Do
NOTwear your uniform). Be prepared to get dirty. Also bring gloves, a water bottle, and an adult. Remember, you will receive 1/3 credit for selling, 1/3 credit for helping deliver, and the final 1/3 for having a parent or other adult help deliver.
We will be delivering mulch until it is gone (approx 4-5pm) and the more help that we have, the faster it goes. This is a fundraiser for the Scouts themselves as well as a team effort. By not helping, you are putting more burden on the other Scouts and parents to carry your load as the mulch still needs to be delivered. If you are arriving late, please check-in at the church parking lot to ensure that you get “delivery credit”. If you need to leave during the course of the day for another activity or event, please come back to the church lot when you finish and we can locate a delivery team for you to join.
Breakfast will be available around 8:00 AM and a full luxurious lunch will be served around noon as delivery teams rotate in.
If you have any questions please let us know!

Nominations for the next Senior Patrol Leader are this week (4/3) and elections will be 4/17 (Note: this was changed from 4/10 due to a Track meet)

Court of Honor is scheduled for Tues May 8th. This is earlier than previous years to avoid scheduling conflicts with the school.
High Adventure Meeting
We will have a meeting following our regular meeting on 4/10 from 8:30pm-9:30pm to talk about the 2018 and 2019 high adventure trips. Any Scout who will be 14+ by June 1, 2019 is invited to attend. We will cover the 2019 dive trip first and then 2018 WV trip. A parent for each interested Scout should attend (even if your Scout can’t make it). At this meeting we will discuss dates, cost, payment schedule, and other such details. We will be accepting checks if you would like to make the deposit to secure their spot on the trip.
