Added 4 pictures to a new BTSR2009 album. Carrie sends this message:

Everything is going well at BTSR. All the boys are ready to come home and so am I.

A Preview of Advancement Changes
The centennial edition of the Boy Scout Handbook will be appearing on the shelves of your local Scout shop around August 1. With the new edition come a number of (relatively small) changes to rank requirements for Tenderfoot through Eagle. Here’s a preview:

GREAT CAMPOUT AT THE TEXAS AIR MUSEUM! Those who went worked well together all weekend and represented Troop 505 and BSA well in the eyes of the Air Museum staff, FAA, and myself. Ice fight was a personal highlight.

CAMPOUT THIS WEEKEND AT THE SLATON AIR MUSEUM, be at the church by 5:30 to load the trailer. Leave by 6:15. Unless you have already told Mr. Goode or Joseph that you can only stay one night, you are expected to stay both nights. We will be helping with clean-up on Sunday morning.

Troop Update – May 25, 2009

There was no formal meeting Monday, though I hear some of you ran into each other at Main Event.

WILDERNESS SURVIVAL CAMPOUT has been postponed due to conflicts with Cooper ISD’s graduation. Will be rescheduled for some time after we return from Catalina and before school starts.

From Dr. Rogers;

I will offer physicals on a Monday night for adults and boys on June 1. Parents should come early 6:45 and begin filling out the forms. We will try to get everyone completed. For the adults I only want to see the adults attending summer camps as the rest will not need one this year. Not needed for adults for less than 72 hours of camping. As of June 8 any boy with an expired physical will not be allowed to go on campouts. For all I need a copy of their current health insurance card to put in their file with their physical, this is mandatory for summer camp.
