Reminders:

Campout Sign Up Procedure

For each outing the scouts will be required to sign the sign-up sheet. Once a Scout signs up they are committed to the outing. The funds for that outing may be paid from the Scout's account or paid at one of the meetings prior to the campout. If a Scout signs up for the outing but does not attend he is still responsible for the payment for that outing.
The Troop will provide information on each outing in the newsletter, website and e-mails. The sign up, for each outing, will start on the first Tuesday following the previous outing. The dead line for sign up and fees will be two Tuesdays prior to the outing. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Mrs. Walker (Catchmeatwork2@aol.com) or Mr. Allman (james.allman@abqhp.com).

Troop Physicals are past due for several Scouts and Adult Leaders.  You know who you are!  :-)  Don't make us come after you.  If you are not sure if your on the list, please check with Mr. Allman or Mrs. Walker.  If you are not current, you will not be able to make future campouts until you are up to date.  A link to the actual form has been placed on the Links Page.

 

Scoutmaster Conferences are currently being scheduled.  There will be a sign up sheet each week at the meetings.  It is up to the boy's to sign up, but you must be 100% ready for the conference.  Mr. Allman will be scheduling conferences over the next few weeks. 

 

Common Forms / Checklists:

Here are some common forms and checklists that Scouts may find useful in preparing for upcoming campouts and outings.  If you would like to see any others, please let me know and I will try and post them.

Scoutmaster’s Corner

We have recognized Scouts for achievements such as Personal Fitness, First Aid and the other various ranks.  These are easily measured by well defined standards and set goals.  However, we have not acknowledged other just as important accomplishments of these young men.  Accomplishments such as Honor and Integrity….

Honor:    Is defined as strong moral character or strength and the adherence to ethical principles and personal integrity.

Integrity:   Is defined as moral soundness, honesty, freedom from corrupting influence or motive.

The development of strong morals, character, principles, values and personal integrity as outlined in the scout oath and law is the foundation of the Scouting Program.  While we do not directly recognize these as we do with the ranks and merit badges, they are even more significant.  The honor and integrity developed as Scouts will stay with these young men throughout their lives long after they have forgotten how to weave a round basket or tie a bowline.  They are the qualities of honorable men.

In closing as Mark Twain once said:  “It is better to deserve honors and not have them, than to Have them and not deserve them”.

Mr. Allman – Scoutmaster Troop 126
