03/10/2009

THEWHO is a weekly handout for scouts and scouters. We would like your information because it is important to us. If you have information about a scout or something in scouting or something that you just think is really neat, please hand it on a piece of paper to a leader with the words THEWHO and we will do our best to get it on our next edition of THEWHO. You can also send your information to our e-mail address at thewho@troop224.us.

Upcoming events

On the 7th of April, we will be having our Court of Honor and our parent information night so please plan on joining us.
On the 24th of April, will be leaving for the U.S. Grant Pilgrimage in lovely Galena.
On the 15th of May, we will be taking off for the William Black overnight on the legendary Mississippi riverboat.
These are just some of the fun things that troop 224 has in store for your scout. Remember you can find these and other important dates on Troop224.us also you can print out a calendar.

A special note on the upcoming Wilderness Resort trip.
The troop is attempting to get the best price on hotel rooms at the resort. Therefore, we are holding off booking the rooms until the last minute. If we cannot obtain rooms for a decent rate, the trip will be changed at the last minute from Wilderness to the Kalahari Resorts. This resort allows us a day pass where the Wilderness does not. If we end up going to the Kalahari Resorts it will be a day trip. Parents will be informed before we depart. Scouts will return late Saturday night. However, scouts should continue to plan on an overnight. Every attempt is going to be made to secure rooms at the Wilderness. Any questions on this please feel free to talk to a leader.

Note to parents
This year Boy Scouts of America has released a new physical form. This is the first new physical form in many years. No longer do you have a class 1, 2, or 3. You now have a much more detailed, health oriented form that is in a new A, B, and C format .This form is mandatory this year, it will need to be filled out by a doctor. If you need a copy of these forms please see Bill or Dale, otherwise we will be handing them out at the Court of Honor in April. Anyone needing a form immediately please go to:

Serious information regarding trips this year with Troop 224
Each year the troop reaches out to parents asking for new leadership or help on events and so forth. Most of the time these requests fall on deaf ears. It has become increasingly more difficult for the leadership to provide transportation for everyone of these events. So let me make this perfectly clear, this year it is extremely possible, if not probable, that the troops will either need to cancel an upcoming event, possibly within days of the event or possibly even the day of the event due to the lack of transportation. Another possibility would be that an extreme amount of money could be added to this trip to compensate for the vehicles that would need to be rented in order to complete the trip. If you have the ability to transport scouts please contact a leader.

Attention please all parents and scouts, please read!
The fair this year will be held a week later than is normal. Normally the fair is held the first week of August, not this year. This year the fair will be held the second week, the 11th through the 16th. Please disregard the information that came on your February calendar, it was wrong. A big thanks goes out to Cindy Hathaway for the heads up.
