Good afternoon troop families,
Permission Forms – If you have not filled out and turned in your 2020 permission forms please do so. The attached PDF file is editable just print it out and sign it. This form is needed every year to go on outings with the troop.
Troop 457 Merit Badge College – We are still taking requests for those Scouts that wish to register for this event. Please note the minimum age requirements for each merit badge and note if the class is an AM or PM class. http://www.meritbadge.info/mbn/EventDetails.aspx?ID=83790DE1-663B-4EEA-8EE3-55C535AD7A96
*If you have multiple merit badges open the troop asks that you complete the ones you have open before starting any new merit badge. If they are closed out by the troop you will have to start the merit badge over again. Please work on finishing the merit badges you have open.
Camp Yocona Summer Camp – 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.
