The next Court of Honor is scheduled on June 4.  All rank advancements and merit badges to be presented at the CoH will need to be complete and turned in by May 21 to be included in the June ceremony.  This allows the scouts preparing the program and script to have enough time to create and review their documents. 

Our quarterly Court of Honor will be held on Thursday, June 4 in the St Timothy School Cafeteria.    All Scouts are expected to attend.  All family members are invited to join us for the evening to celebrate the achievements  (rank advancement, merit badges, and special awards) of our Scouts since March. Don't forget Mom's get a kiss at rank advancement!  Uniform is full Class A with merit badge sash.  Long pants are required even though it is after Memorial Day.  

Summer camp is at Camp Rodney from June 28 - July 4. The schedule for summer camp payments and information needed are as follow:

- April 16 - Summer camp forms due - Please turn it in at the Troop meeting no later than April 16. - must be signed by a parent - ALL SCOUTS MUST TURN IN A FORM WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE PLANNING TO ATTEND SUMMER CAMP. Scouts who are attending summer camp for their second year or more are the only ones who fill out the form to choose merit badges. Scouts who are going to summer camp for the first time fill out the Brownsea form. Scouts who are not attending summer camp fill out the "not attending" form. I have also attached the description of merit badges which shows what the pre-requisites are.
