We don’t have a meeting this week. Our next meeting is next Tuesday (7/28). Use this time to clean and put away any gear from summer camp you haven’t already put away. Remember this is your job and not your parents.

Camping: Camp Craig: Camp Gadget/Pig Roast
Hello all,
Attached is the permission form for the May 15-17 Campout and Family Pig Roast at Camp Craig (near Camp Friedlander). The theme of the campout is Medieval/Camp Gadgets.
As a part of the campout we will also be having a BBQ Pig Roast at the Berndsen Shelter (Camp Craig) on Saturday night starting at 5:30pm that all families are invited to attend. After the family dinner, we will be having a campfire with skits, songs and a very nice American Flag retirement ceremony.
In order to get the “pig guy” the correct headcount so he knows how big of a pig to purchase/cook, we need a firm headcount by 5/5. The permission forms are due back by the 5/5 Troop Meeting. On the permission form, there is a line to indicate the number of family members attending the pig roast, please do NOT include your son or adult who is camping in that family count, they will be included already as part of the # of Scouts or Adults Camping. Kids 5 years old and under eat for free, don’t include them in your count either.
Committee members are encouraged to attend as you are an important part of our troop!
Pig Roast Menu includes:
- Fresh pork
- Buns
- Sauce
- Baked Beans
- Macaroni Salad
- Cole Slaw
- Drinks
Troop will supply all paper products.
