This Week's Campout Update as of Thursday, May 7, 7:30 pm:
Our trip this weekend will now be a day trip on Saturday. The plan is to leave the building at 7 a.m. and still return at 6 p.m. that evening. Steve McDonald has gotten us reservations on the Elk River at Eagles Nest outfitter near Noel, Missouri.

Currently the river levels there are floatable but moving fast. We will be doing a 12 mile float. We will call them Friday night and probably Saturday morning to confirm that the levels are floatable. If the river levels are up and not floatable we will go to plan (C) - Robbers Cave State Park and rappelling or (D) – Pea Ridge Civil War Battlefield or Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve, or something doable in the rain. Any other ideas for a semi-rainy day would be appreciated. Woolaroc, in Bartlesville, would be a good option since it is mostly out of the rain and has covered pavilions for doing lunch.

Scouts need to bring the items listed on the canoe list for going down the river along with rain gear. They also need to bring a dry change of clothes and a plastic bag for wet clothes

If we canoe, campout cost is $25. If we do not canoe, cost will drop to $10 and we will refund the difference to those who have already paid. For canoe agenda details and gear lists, see the campout agenda page. We also have several campout-related links there.

IMPORTANT NOTE --- Camp physicals: Doctors who support our troop will be here May 11 volunteering their time for FREE pre-camp physicals. If you don't get a free physical, you need to get one done by your regular doctor or you can't come to camp or summer high adventure!

If you happen to already have a physical that was performed in August, 2008 or later (such as a school athletic physical) you need get a copy of the Scout physical form to fill out. We can attach your current physical to the Scout form. For details, see one of the Scout leaders.

An American Flag Retirement Ceremony is planned for our regular May 18 meeting. This will be held at the amphitheater behind the Whispering Hills Church of Christ on 111th Street, about 1.5 miles south of the Broken Arrow Campus of Northeastern State University, from 7-8:30pm. If you know any friends or relatives who are veterans of the Armed Forces, think about inviting them to this event. A map to Whispering Hills is on our map page; see the link at left.

Summer Camp preparation time has begun. Cost will be $225, but pay Scoutmaster Richard by April 21 for a discount. For more information on deadlines and the official pre-camp info handout, follow the link from the Campout Agenda page to a Summer Adventure page featuring additional details about summer camp and High Adventure. We've even tossed in a map or two.
