As you may be aware, Governor Greg Abbott announced that, beginning next Wednesday, March 10, the statewide mask mandate would be lifted, encouraging all Texans to take personal responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others.
Circle Ten Council is committed to the safety of its members, so at this time we have not made any changes to our current COVID-19 safety protocols. We ask that you remain vigilant to ensure the safety of all who participate. If updates are made to our safety procedures, we will share them broadly.
The March campout is quickly approaching. Scouts will have the opportunity to work on several merit badges, but registration is required so they can be placed in the appropriate MB rotation. Please complete the attached sign-up for the campout. Sign-up closes March 21st.
We will depart Friday, March 26 from scout hut at 6:30. Meet at 6:00pm. Eat beforehand or bring sack dinner.
Scouts will have opportunity to work on First Aid, Rifle, Shotgun and Fishing MB. They will need to sign up for each MB they want to work on so they can be put on the schedule for those MBs.
Parents will be responsible for transporting their scouts to and from the campout or make arrangments prior to departure. (Approximately 2.5 hours - near Meridian, TX.)
Bring $10 for grubmaster fees to the meeting on March 22nd where the scouts will prepare for the campout.
We are holding a Scout Hut fix & Clean it day today, Sunday the 21st from 1 - 4 PM. The plan will be to tend to various items on the Scout Hut that have been wearing down over the last couple years and need attention including:
- new boards cut and painted to replace the weathered door jambs around the door and garage doors
- Install a minor gutter and drip edge fixes as needed
- Light electrical fixes on a couple of outdoor and indoor fixtures.
- More items will likely be addressed as well
Additionally, there will be some scouts and parents tending to the inside for additional organizational and cleaning as needed. We will have a Hut Cleaning lead on the inside, while I organize those helping on the outside. I will bring all tools and supplies needed to fix the Scout hut but a pair of work gloves might be useful just in case.
Please go to TeamSnap and click "Going" or "Maybe" or "No" for your availability so we have an idea of attendance.
Same place, different time! Both troops will be attending summer camp at Camp Constantin the week of June 20-26. Save the Date. More details to come as we get closer.
