05/19 – Mid-Month Newsletter

December 09, 2019

• Thanks to all who came to our Spring Camporee in April! Over 60 Scouts worked on their Cooking Merit Badge. Special thanks goes out to Troop 5 for hosting!
• Program Guides are now available for units to pickup at the Ritter Service Center. Each unit receives 2 Guides. These can also be found online here
• Just a reminder, there is NO Roundtable in the months of June or July.
• If your unit did not attend Program Preview, please stop by the Ritter Service Center and pickup the items in your mailbox. There will be a binder on top of the Roundtable box. This binder contains new Scouting For Food maps for the Cape and Jackson areas (thanks again, Willie!). If your unit is in either town, please look through these and decide which territory your unit would like to have. If your unit has not claimed a territory by the end of August’s Roundtable, a territory will be assigned to your unit. This is to ensure that we can receive adequate help with each area by the time Scouting For Food comes around.
• Our August Roundtable will be combined with Popcorn Training. This will be held at The Concourse, 429 N. Broadview in Cape Girardeau. Dinner starts at 6:30 and program begins at 7. Sign up for the sale and register for the training here!
• STEM onCAMPus registration is open! Click here to register.
• Please send your fall recruitment dates (first and second join nights) to Ashley Metelski: 314-920-0621 or metelski@scouting.org by June 28, 2019. This is to ensure that we can have school access within the first 2 weeks of students returning.
• All Youth in grades 1st-5th are welcome to our “Out of this Galaxy” camps! You can find your local day camp on our interactive google map here!

Register today to join us for several days of fun and activities!

• Thank you to Ameren Missouri and Plaza Tire Service, for your investment in the mission of the Boys Scouts of America as a 2019 Merit Badge Sponsor!

The Greater St. Louis Area Council sincerely thanks you for volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scouts would not be able to function without your support. We hope you have a great summer and we will see you at camp!
