Attention Now Events:

August 12: Maintaining the garden in its first year is foundational to its long-term success.  Therefore, Keep Kingsport Beautiful and the George Washington Elementary School PTA are rallying volunteers to pull weeds and add more mulch to the beds, which will get the garden in tip-top shape as the school year winds up.  We will plan to meet at the garden at 9 AM on Saturday 8/12 and work for approximately two hours.

Drew Utterback will be at CHPC for Youth leadership training to be held on August 12.  An email was sent out!

Care Package

We are collecting card items to put together a care package to send overseas to a former Troop 48 Scout who is serving.  We need to get the first package out next week after the meeting as his location may change quickly in the coming months.  He has specifically asked for eye drops, Tums, and nonperishable snacks.  He is in extreme heat so we need to pay close attention to what we send.

August 8th was the cutoff for advancement recognition at the 22 August Court of Honor

If you have Troop 48 clothing that is too small, then please donate it to the Brother’s Closet.

A Crockett Card may be another way to save money for the active scout and leader. It allows monthly payments in lieu of one single payment. If the scout participates in Summer Camp and one other event, like MBU, the Card payments will break even.

WARNING TO ADULT LEADERS – YOUTH PROTECTION TRAINING

Please note there is no guaranteed grace period once your YPT has expired after two years, thus you’re at risk of being dropped from the National BSA roster which then requires a new adult leader application – along with all annual fees, including a $25 new member.  Notices are automatically sent by BSA starting 90 days before the expiration.  There have been five Troop 48 adult leaders dropped because of failure to take action.  Fortunately, the first three have rejoined with current training and paperwork.  Troop 48 has a desktop and laptop computer which can be used on a Tuesday night to complete this training.–

Indian Path Community Hospital in partnership with Niswonger Children’s Hospital Sponsors Kids Central during Fun Fest July 17th from 9:30a-3:30p and July 18th from 12:30p – 5p. Indian Path has four activities set up, such as an obstacle course, hula hoop, long jump, and corn hole, for kids to complete in order to receive a prize. We are encouraging children to get outside and play. The volunteers would help the kids with the activities and encourage the kids to participate and even show them how to do the activity. I will provide a free Fun Fest t-shirt while supplies last, drinks all day both days and lunch on Monday. We would love to have anyone interested to come help. It is hot but we have fun!

Anyone interested can contact me on my mobile 423-863-6711 or office 423-857-7048 or email Tessa.malone2@balladhealth.org.

Family members who want to attend Family night!!!

We need to give camp a head count for Friday night adults planning on eating at family night. Jerry made an announcement Tues. night but we don’t know how many scouts actually tell their parents. Please note Cost is $6 per person.

We need to have this information no later then Wednesday!!

Wednesday is a drop in for Black Bear Troop camp fire and flag retirement ! Wednesday night guests may begin to arrive @ 7:30 PM and we should aim to begin our campfire program around 8:15 PM.

Friday guests are welcome to eat dinner at the dining hall provided that they have registered @ the Sequoyah Council and paid individually. We need this information By Wednesday PLEASE LET US KNOW we could’nt find anyway to register online. The leaders guide says the leader at camp has to notify the dining hall. 

( FRIDAY IS TROOP SILLY SOCK DAY ! )

Friday Family Night for campfire is Friday evening. The highlight of the evening’s activities is the campfire program. If desired, visitors may eat in the Dining Hall on Friday evening. The cost for the meal is $6. They should notify their Scout’s unit leader prior to their visit, who will make arrangements with the Business Manager.
