Hi Everyone. June is here and I just wanted to go over a few things with you.
- Camperships. I have emailed a campership application. I spoke with Matt Mower from Boy Scouts and he said that the deadline was May 15 but that those who have not applied for a campership should do so. There may be money left, especially for those who just signed up during our recent school sign up. "If they're new we might be able to get some extra time for them to pay at the early bird rate," Matt said.
- Spirit of America Award. As you know, our boys were recognized by the Augusta "Spirit of America" Committee with the "Spirit of America Award" in honor of their volunteerism in the city in 2008. I emailed a copy of that letter and certificate so the boys can have one for their scrap books!
- Sign Ups. We have had a few new boys looking to join. You can find me typically at my office in Augusta T, W, and Thursday or in the evenings during the week. My phone number is 400-9850 and cmahaleris@hotmail.com. I can get you the application if you havent already had a chance to grab one.
- BSA RAISING REGISTRATION FEE IN 2010. Our District Scout Executive let me know that the BSA national will be raising the annual membership fee to $15 from $10. This will begin next March, 2010 when we recharter our pack.
- Cub Scout Leader Training. Saturday, June 13, Methodist Church in Skowhegan. Please preregister for the training as lunch will be provided based on the preregistration head count. mmower@bsamail.org. Pack 603 will reimburse leaders who attend cub training course.
- SPRING KICK-OFF, Wed. June 10, 7 pm, Blessed Hope Adventist Church, 10 Pleasant St. in Waterville (Roundtable Location) This is the leaders meeting where all of the information about the coming Scouting program year is giving out by District volunteers.
