Troop 126 - Taylor Ranch, New Mexico

07/14/08

Greetings Troop 126!

Philmont was a Blast. Both Crews had an awesome time and everyone survived! No Injuries or sickness on the trail. We saw plenty of wild life and both crews actually observed Black Bears in their Campsites at some point during the trip. We will be posting the photo's as well as some information about the trek in the next couple of weeks. Special Recognition to Ethan P. and Karl W. for being Great Crew Leaders as well as Mr. Allman, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Jamison, Mr. Pennington and Mr. Cox for being strong Adult Advisors who were never caught Crying on the Trail! :-)

Summer Camp is just around the corner. July 27th to August 2nd. Keep posted to the website for more info. By now everyone should have all their Physcials in and ready to go.

Also we have a Backpacking Trip coming up in August, so make sure you are getting your gear together and physically prepping your self for this campout. It will be a blast!

Congratulations to our newest Eagle, Karl Walker. He was inducted last month and joins a long list of Troop 126 Boy's who have achieved this rank. Way to Go Karl!

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.
