THEWHO
The Weekly Hand Out
New weekly handout about scouting for us who scout

02/17/2009

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.

NEW**** Parents please be advised
Tonight your scout was informed about a incident that occurred last Tuesday at scout meeting. The incident involved two older scouts and was an altercation in which injury occurred for one of the scouts. Tonight your scout was informed that any fake fighting force play that could manifest into a real fight will not be tolerated. From this point forward we will have a zero tolerance for this kind of horseplay. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Dale, or any scout leader.

NEW**** Some summer camp information is in
Tonight your scout was informed about what merit badges that will be available at Camp Decorah this year.
Next week he will be given a detailed list so he can start picking what activities he to wishes participate in at summer camp. Please take time to discuss and work with your scout to help him make the best decision for summer camp this year.

NEW**** This spot would be if filled if we got more information from leaders and scouts!
Don’t forget to e-mail us at thewho@troop224.us

New website up and running
Troop224.us has a new look, it has new features and new links. The first feature that is up and running now is the new calendar. Yes, the calendar is completely available at the click of a button. Also available is an RSS feed for your desktop RSS reader. It keeps you up-to-date on any schedule changes. Take a look at the website and please feel free to let us know your ideas for the website.

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.

Just a note on summer camp...
This year we will be working hard to get scouts set up for their summer camp merit badges early. In the coming weeks we will be working with your scout so we can help him find the best path to optimize there summer camp experience. Summer camp is the best place to work and get merit badges to boost their drive toward Eagle.

THINGS WE NEED TO FOCUS ON, IN COMING WEEKS

Start planning for class 2 and/or class 3 physicals before the summer season arrives.
