Three items of general interest.
Flag Day
First–and this one sort of snuck up on me–Flag Day is Wednesday. That’s tomorrow (June 15). A flag will be raised at 7 PM on the Battle Green. Toss on a Class A shirt and join me. The ceremony is short. We always participate in this one. If it is windy, we may need a Scout or two to help with the flag.
Advancement Festival
This week (June 16) we will be finishing up odds and ends of advancement. For those who are finishing up First Class and below–bring your Scout Handbook. For those finishing merit badges, tell Joey and me about it so we can have a counselor on hand. We need JASMs and ASMs to help with requirements and to sit on BORs. And I suggest a Class A uniform, especially if you expect to have a Scoutmaster Conference or Board of Review.
Scoutmaster’s Picnic and COH
Remember that the final meeting of the year will be a picnic and COH, on June 23. A longer e-mail will follow and there will be an announcement at the meeting this Thursday. We need a couple of grills. We will start early–setup around 5:30 with food on the table by 6:00 PM. It will be held rain or shine, but in the event of shine, it will be at the Old Res.
