Reminders

  • Please file a Trip Alert for EVERY trip you take outside your meeting place. 
  • Please use only the “Pink Permission Slips” for your activities.  Do not make your own forms
  • We need more leaders to take Basic Outdoor Living.  We have only 4 trained leaders  We don’t want to have to say only troops with trained leaders can go to the camporee.  Council is asking for copies of training cards before approving camping applications now.  There is a BOLS class scheduled for 9/14 and 9/22-23 in Portsmouth.  Don’t forget, you can’t take your troop on hikes or camping even in your own backyard without BOLS.
