If you are able to work, please bring work gloves, bottled water, and an electric drill if you have one. If not, still come! The base of the bridge is done and we are ready to begin on the decking. They want to get it finished as soon as possible so they can use the bridge this summer. The work times have to be coordinated with the camp and the activities going on there.

Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge: Counselor Mrs. Mayher - Troop 810 leadership is coordinating activities that qualify for the requirements of Citizenship in the Community merit badge. Most Scouts within our troop need this Eagle-required merit badge. The following are details for some of the requirements: Requirement 7 has the Scout finding out about a charitable organization outside of Scouting that brings people in the community together to work for the good of the community. The scout needs to find out about the organization and then volunteer at least 8 hours of time working to help the organization. By volunteering your time of at least 8 hours beginning Wednesday, August 9th through Sunday, August 13th, you will be able to complete this requirement. Details are being worked out to have someone who knows the history of Assumption Church to speak about it at a troop meeting in September to finish up Requirement 7. Requirement 5 has the Scout watching a movie that shows how the actions of an individual or group of individuals can have a positive effect on a community. Arrangements will be made to watch a movie that qualifies for this requirement at a troop meeting, most likely in September. Requirement 3 has the Scout attending one of several “community” meetings. He will need to listen to the issues discussed where a difference of opinions was expressed and then explain to his counselor why he agrees with one opinion more than another one. Arrangements have been made for those Scouts working on this merit badge to attend Assumption’s Parish Council Meeting on Thursday, September 21st, at 7:00 PM in the Church Rectory. It is hoped that most Scouts within Troop 810 will take advantage of these opportunities to work on this Eagle-required merit badge. Focus on the other requirements will take place at a later date!

There are no exceptions to this National BSA summer camp policy. Everyone must have the following medical record information. Youths and adults under 40 years old Adults 40 and over Uniform Requirements - a tradition was started three years ago where each scout would own and wear scout uniform shorts at summer camp. This makes the troop look very sharp at formations during the week. Here are a few sources on where to find scout shorts without paying the full price at the scout shop - Older scouts who have outgrown their old shorts, thrift shops, and eBay. Missing Troop Equipment - there are several pieces of equipment missing from the troop room. All gear needs to be returned as soon as possible after a campout. We have records of who has some of this equipment, but other items are a mystery. If you have ever gone camping without the right gear you know this is a real problem. Please bring this equipment back at our next troop meeting.

Invitations should be arriving in the mail the week of April 24th. Contact Mrs. Cree if you need any additional information. May Outing - a decision was made by the troop's adult leadership to replace the Cuyahoga Valley District Camporee with an outing to the Byzantine Monastery. We came to the realization that preparation for this camporee would have been much more involved than anticipated. The camporee planning packet is roughly 41 pages long with events covering catapult building, gateway building, cooking competitions, first aid, etc. With all the activities we have planned for the next two months the adult leaders felt that there was not enough meeting time between now and camporee to properly prepare. We feel our efforts will be better utilized in getting ready for summer camp and preparing for our other activities. The camporee date change also caused a conflict with our regularly scheduled scout mass. A trip to the Monastery on the weekend of May 20-22, will be much more relaxed and more productive for our troop members. In addition the Byzantine Nuns of St. Clare can really use our help with cleaning up property damage caused by the recent snow storm. We will look into going to a camporee with another district in the fall.
