Scoutmaster Minute
Summer camp is here! This is short as we’re at camp.
 
Today the troop boarded a bus and arrived at Goshen Scout Reservation. This is the first week of camp, and this is the first year girls are able to participate. So far we see other girl troops here and look forward to interacting with them.
 
Next month – 7/2 – Troop Meeting(7-8:30pm) 
 
Uniform: Class A (tan shirt)
Location: CUMC
 
Merit Badge prep (Astronomy or Orienteering) – Caitlin & Jayna
 
893 Summer Climbing Program
 
Uniform – Class B
Since we have trained climbing instructors and gear, ASM Adam Weisz, will be leading several climbing outings on the first Saturday of each month (see attached for dates, location and permissions). 
This is great opportunity and those with experience indicate Great Falls/Mather Gorge is a blast. Buzzard Rock was big hit will the Boys Troop group that climbed during their March campout.
 
 
Upcoming Service Opportunities 
Providing service is a key part of Scouting, to do our daily good turn. Helping others often in turn helps ourselves with new experiences and opportunities for growth. This is built into requirements for most ranks. I’m adding a new section to the weekly notes to list any upcoming service opportunities that may help the Community, and progress in your trail to Eagle.  
    • CUMC Grace Ministries is a monthly program through our charter organization held on the 2nd Saturday of each month, with prep the Friday night before hand, help is needed at both the Friday set up and on Saturday morning to bring goods to cars
