Good evening troop families,
Our next virtual meeting will be Monday 4/20 @ 7pm. We have had some more time to educate ourselves on how to use Zoom more efficiently for our troop meetings. Once we begin the meeting we will mute everyone except for the speaker. If you wish to ask a question Zoom has a function that allows you to raise your hand during a meeting so you can be called upon.

To raise your hand in Zoom – Click on participants on your device and then click on raise hand. The hosts will see that you raised your hand and will be able to unmute you to ask your question. On a PC or a MAC there is a keyboard shortcut to raise your hand. We will go over this at the beginning of the meeting.
PC – ALT + Y
MAC – Option + Y

Open merit badges – Scouts that have open merit badges please make the effort to finish those requirements that do not require a visit, camping outing or community service while we are to stay at home during the pandemic. I would love to see more of these closed out so you can earn that merit badge and be recognized at the next court of honor. The open merit badge list from 3/19/2020 is attached.

Camp Yocona Summer Camp – (6/14/2020 – 6/20/2020) Merit badge registration has started for this year’s summer camp. There are two attachments on this email about summer camp merit badge opportunities. One lists the merit badges the camp is offering (note some are be offered together like Art AND Sculpture, Basketry AND Leatherwork meaning you can earn two during one session for the week) this summer and the last page lists the schedule of when each merit badge is being offered. There is a form attached for you to list your first, second and third merit badges the scout would like to take for each of the five sessions. If there are any questions feel free to email Brandon Henderson or ask at a meeting.
