Ross Relles camping trip next weekend!

Attention All Troop 29 Scouts – Operation Green Hat has been ACTIVATED!

 

All Scouts (Yes, "older" Scouts should plan on coming also) interested in participating in Operation Green Hat must report to the Troop Container on June 26th, 2015 at 16:30 hours (4:30 pm for us parents) for two days of camping, training and sign-offs.   Scouts will be returning to the Troop Container on June 28th, 2015 at approximately 15:00 hours  (approximately 3:00 pm).  Attached are Directions to the Camp, a Checklist of What To Bring, and the Troop 29 Permission Slip (which is required for both Parents and Scouts attending the event).

 

Operation Green Hat was created by the "older" Scouts to help ensure all of the "new" Scouts achieved the rank of Tenderfoot before going to Summer Camp.  Upon reaching the rank of Tenderfoot, the Troop awards the Scout with a Troop Hat (which coincidentally is Green).  The goal is to have all of the Scouts earn and receive their Troop Hat on this campout. 

 

What do you get?

 

               Tenderfoot Rank (upon sign-off of each of the Rank Requirements).  This is for Scouts who have not achieved the Tenderfoot Rank.

 

·                                 Two Nights of Camping.  The Troop provides the tents.

·                                  

·                                 Community Service Hours.  We will be helping the Lions Club get their facilities ready for this year's use (See the link for Camp Ross Relles' mission:  http://www.camprossrelles.com).  We need each scout to bring work gloves and work clothes.

·                                  

3)                         A chance to get ready for Summer Camp.  We will be working on skills needed to quickly advance along the Trail to Eagle at Summer Camp.

 

                       Opportunity to complete your cooking requirements for rank advancement.  Contact Scoutmaster - Mr. Gedde if interested (or needed for advancement)

 

                       Opportunity for "older" Scouts to give a hand to the younger Scouts.  You may even be able to receive a sign-off on using the Edge Method.

.

                       Time to get to know and have fun with your fellow Scouts.  Who is bringing the playing cards or other games?
