Scout and Parents,
Below is the link to the 2023 T934 Summer Camp MB/Activity Request Form. As soon as you are able please print, complete, and either email to t934leaderadm@gmail.com or give to Ms. Settlemire at a Monday Meeting. We have included CRK’s Program Guide with the Request Form …. but if you have any questions about Summer Camp please do not hesitate to ask a T934 Leader!
Registration starts mid-February and continues throughout the Spring. Based on experience we expect certain MB sessions to fill quickly (i.e., by March), which is why we ask for your 2nd and 3rd choices. Remember your individual deposit must be paid to CRK before we can register your selections.
https://www.troop934.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/T934-CRK-MB-Request-Form-w-Program-Guide.pdf
23/24 Ravens do not complete this form as the Raven Curriculum is set by the Troop.
Thank you!
Good morning!
One – Ty Brown needs adult and scout volunteers for the Senior Raven Day this Saturday morning, 11th February. In addition to Raven advancement, this is a great opportunity for First Class and above Scouts to satisfy the EDGE teaching requirements needed for Star and Life ranks.
Two – Bryan Scott is finalizing details on the Grayson Highlands Winter Backpacking trip Feb 17th-19th. We have limited participation at the moment and are debating routes/number of treks — if you are going, please sign up ASAP. If you are “thinking about it” please let Mr. Scott know ASAP.
Three – YES, we are still taking Summer Camp Deposits!!! Please email Will Maddux and he will send you a Square invoice. A deposit is needed before your Scout can register for Merit Badge classes.
Four – Camp Cards will be distributed on Monday 13th Feb during the Scout Meeting. A parent’s signature is required so please come inside/downstairs and see Tonya Scott & Emily Fuldner. Camp cards cost $10; $5 goes to your Scout’s activities and $5 to OHC. Full value of the discounts is well over $100 and it is VERY easy to use the first $30.
Five – If you have not already, please pay your adult and/or youth recharter invoice that was sent via Square.
Thank you!
**If your scout is bridging from Webelos in Feb/Mar 23 this email does not apply.**
Parents and Adult Leaders,
Recharter invoices for returning T934 Scouts and Adult Leaders have been sent. Please check your email for a Square invoice from “OHC dba Troop 934,” which is our new Square billing account. If you do not see an invoice please check old/alternate email accounts and ask your spouse to do the same. If you still do not see one please email Mr. Maddux (wom7701 at gmail.com) with your preferred email and we will resend. Also, if you would prefer that we email invoices to a different account or if your contact details are incorrect please email Mr. Maddux with that information.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
