FYI – Mrs. Walsh will be at the April 5th meeting for those needing to work on Personal Management Merit Badge.

Aquatics Camp at Camp Echockotee in Orange Park is a nationally accredited program, open to all youth ages 6-14. Each week campers choose from over 30 activities including: Archery Range, Arts & Crafts, BB Gun Range, Canoeing, Fishing, Space Exploration, Swimming, Wakeboarding and MUCH MORE!

Discounted rate for campers who register on or before May 15, 2009! – Extended Day Care available! Visit AquaticsCamp.org or download the flier for more info.

Be Prepared! – Review your needs for merit badges. At the April 27th meeting we will begin the sign-up for summer camp merit badges.

The “09 Raven Knob Leaders Guide” is on the Downloads Page and is NOT just for leaders. It is packed with information about merit badges and the camp. Download it and check things out for yourself.

Send an email to Mr. B if you already know what you want for merit badges.

NOTE: We recommend that new scouts enroll in the “Raven Scout” program. This helps them with achievements for Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class.

Mrs. Walsh will host a Personal Management session on April 6th. If you are working on this merit badge make sure you bring yourself and your materials to the meeting that night. Be Prepared… This Eagle-required badge takes a while to complete and you have limited opportunities to interact with your counselor.
