Advancements

Happy Tuesday Webelos parents. What a great night of learning last night. It seemed like all our scouts perked up during the guest lecture on engineering. I can’t wait in two weeks when he comes back and we get hands on with bridge building. I was reviewing scout book and adding a few more advancements that parents discussed with me or Bob last night. I noticed many are missing one or two requirements. Bob printed off a list for each scout on missing requirements before Christmas. Please reference that sheet and work to get your scout caught up. We would love to have all the Webelos receive rank at Blue & Gold. Regards, Kathy Prince

Monday Night

Please wear your Class A uniform tomorrow night. We are starting the engineering elective and Mr. Fritter is bringing a guest speaker. If you have completed Duty to God and You please log it in Scout book or let Mr. Bob know and he will log it after the meeting tomorrow night. Cyber Chip and pamphlet exercises are also needed to be done at home. Please get with Mr. Bob or Mrs. Bob if you have questions on these two activities. If you have completed them please let us know so we can log it in Scoutbook. Yours in Scouting, Kathy Prince
