Make sure you have closed-toe shoes! 

Capture the flag tonight. 

Class B unless scheduled for a 

SMC or BOR 

Clarification!!! Announcement about the opening ceremony.  

From a 2006 BSA Scouting magazine article:  My question regards protocol during flag ceremonies: Should a Scout use the Scout salute while in a Class B uniform or place his right hand over his heart?  First, when referring to uniforms, Class A and Class B are military terms that are not used in the BSA. The correct Scouting terms for the two versions of the uniform are “official uniform” and “activity uniform.” Although less formal, the activity uniform is still considered an official uniform, and therefore it is appropriate for boys to use the Scout salute while wearing it during a flag ceremony.

PLC 6:30 All New Patrol Leadership representatives should be in attendance for quick job introduction.

Patrol checklist:

1.  Take attendance.  Add trips, churches, service hours, etc. for meetings missed.   

2. Counsel and sign off advancement. Update Scout books for advancements 

3. Call patrol members who are not present. Discuss possible new Scouts for patrol.

4. Confirm CDC summer camp classes –joining a wait list is an option too
