On the 14th of March 2010 starting at 2:00 p.m., American Legion Post 252 will celebrate the
American Legion Birthday. They would be honored to have our Troop and
parents join us for dinner and celebration. They plan to honor the Boy
Scouts of American on their 100th Birthday. Please register on-line through the calendar date to provide the American Legion
a projected head count. 

Along with the year of celebration marking Scouting’s 100th Anniversary comes a real collector’s item: The Boy Scout Handbook, which carries several rank requirement changes that go into effect Jan. 1, 2010.

The new BSA health form became an annual requirement effective January 1, 2010. This will be the only form accepted by BSA. Part A, Part B and Part C will all be required for acceptance. These requirements include an annual physical signed by a physician for all youth and adults. A copy of the form may be downloaded from our Troop 621 file section.

Summer Camp 2010 will be July 24 - July 31 at the Blue Ridge Mountain Scout Reservation, Virgina the same camp we went to in 2008. The camp offers several high adventure type options for the boys. In order to make sure, we have enough spots reserved for each option we need to know what activity listed below each boy would like to attend. There are different age requirements for each activity, so please pay attention to the list below.

You can find more information about the camp activities at http://www.brmcreservation.org/summer_camp.htm. The Wakeboarding and SCUBA information is in the Claytor Lake section.

We also need to reserve a spot for each adult that is planning on going to camp. If you can attend camp let us know which activity you would like to attend. If you would be able to drive to camp please let us know that as well.

We went over this with all the boys that were at the meeting this past Tuesday, so if your son turned his sheet in then we have what is needed. We do still need all adult information though.

Please email Jay Miller (SummerCamp2010@troop621.com) with your confirmation of participation. Deposits will be due around January 1st.
