Troop 103,
The
weather should be nice this weekend for our campout.
Scouts must wear Class A uniform to
Avondale and back. Electronics are acceptable
only during the travel period. Electronics for
scouts must stay in the vehicle that they traveled to the campsite. We have
4 campsites reserved on Woodbadge
Hill, so we will have plenty of room to spread out. We need assembly to
begin at the St Jude parking lot by
7:30 am. We will
depart at 8:00 am
sharp. On our return trip, it is important that parents pick up their scout
on time at 11:00 am.
Scouts will be allowed to call home 30 minutes before arriving at the
Bluebonnet Library. We hope that everyone has a safe and fun filled
weekend.
Sincerely,
Patrick Hebert

Note Troop 103 does not use a neckerchief. Troop 103 will provide the
Patrol
patch (goes on right sleeve under the US flag) for new scouts.
A very useful link regarding Advancement requirements (i.e., progress to
Tenderfoot / 2nd Class / 1st class / etc... ranks) and Merit Badge requirements
is:
http://www.meritbadge.com/.
This site has many useful links regarding the individual Merit Badges.
Merit
Badges are required for advancements beyond 1st class, with particular emphasis
on the "Eagle required" merit badges. New scouts, if active, generally hit
First Class rank at about a year to 18 months.
