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.
