Troop,

We will meet inside the church for tonights meeting.

The Philmont Crew will be bringing all their gear in to do a shakedown and we will take this opportunity to discuss backpacking planning, packing, and gear. It will be a great warmup for Summer Camp coming in July and Squirrel Creek Loop Backpacking Trip in August.

After that we will continue to work on some advancement and conduct another teambuilding IPA (Inner Patrol Activity) if we are focused and have time.

Reminder that we have Flag Day on June 14th. There may be slots left. This is a great way to raise some funds for your scout account. Due to our flag fundraising and a lot of the troop being away at Philmont there will not be a meeting on June 14th. Enjoy your family, friends, and celibrate that awesome stars and stripes.

Next meeting will be June 21st and we will have a game night with the activity to be determined. If you have ideas and suggestions, bring them tonight.

Philmont Crew!!! Bring your packs fully ready to go. We meet at the barn tomorrow morning at 0700 to hit the road to New Mexico.

Yours in scouting!

Mr. Petree

Troop,

We are in need of support for Flag Day flags on Jun 14th! Please sign up and get out there, show support for the country, military, and our community! Plus, youll get some cash in your scout account-but that isnt why we do it, right?

Dan

Troop,

Summer camp is good to go with the exception of medical forms.

We have a total of 25 Scouts attending camp and will be asking for a couple of parents to serve as transporters to get all those Scouts up to San Isabele Scout Ranch. More information on that to come as we approach the date.

If you have not turned in your medical forms (annual physicals), please do so as soon as you can. These forms need to be mailed (hard copy) to the BSA office in Pueblo before the end of Jun. I would like to package them all and get them in the mail on 25 Jun.

T-shirts:

Here is the t-shirt order form. We are dropping off the order form on 14 Jun, so if you want a Troop 287 t-shirt, please print this form off, fill it out, and get it to the Scoutmaster before the 14th. He will give it to Mrs. Reiser who will turn it in for us.

If you all have any concerns ro questions, please let us know!

This week coming, the troop is sending out our guys to Philmont. Make sure you think of them while they are hiking 80-100 miles over a 10 day course! And congratualte them when they get back.

Talk to you soon,

Dan

Troop,

Hope you had fun and were successful selling camp cards. Now that we are at the end of the selling period, I need everyone to reconcile with me at tonights meeting. Please bring the money for the ones you sold and any ones you didn’t so we can settle up with the council.

Mr. Petree

Thank you to those who signed up for flags tomorrow. See you at the barn at 6am. Scouts should be in Class A uniforms, they may also want to wear gloves since it is a little cold in the morning. We will be meeting again at 6pm to retrieve the flags. Please do not comment on this site since it does not go anywhere. We are working on this problem.

Troop,

Apologies for the short suspense, the weather has played a part in this, but no worries, we will get it done.

Tomorrow morning, at 1030, at the Church, we will host Lance Warner’s Eagle Award COH.

We need a few Scouts to fill in as Honor Guard and perform the posting and retiring of the colors.

Please wear full Class A Uniform and be ready to post and retire the colors. It will only be about an hour ceremony. And there will be cake, so there is that.

Here is the link to sign up.

Troop,

With the Court of Honor rapidly approaching I look forward to all the awards, merit badges, and ranks we will be handing out. Tonight we will be working on those last odds and ends to assist you in getting to that next level. The Scout leadership will be working the EDGE method with those who need it. The Assistant Scoutmasters can sign off on rank requirements. I will be available for Scoutmaster Conferences and be taking signups for Board of Reviews with the Troop Committee to be held at the May 10th meeting. Lets do this!

I will also have Camp Cards available for those of you who want to sign them out or need another batch if you have sold all yours.

See you all tonight!
