Troop 605 Website, Blog and Calendar Updates

Hello Fellow Scouts and Parents,

Get ready for a great weekend with lots of sunshine. We are headed for Topaz Mtn late Friday after Brandon’s baseball game. Solar ovens will cook part of Saturday dinner – Scouting is so much fun, right Kevin!

New material and forms have been posted to the Troop Website, Troop Blog and Troop Calendar. So, be sure to visit the following over the weekend for the latest on Jamboree Troop 605.

· Troop Website at www.JamboreeTroop605.com – check out all nine pages, including forms, helpful links and contact information.

· Troop Blog at www.jamboreetroop.blogspot.com – subscribe to the blog in the left column to receive new posts instantly via email.

· Troop Calendar at www.JamboreeTroop605.com/calendar - click and print any event for detailed information, and register to receive notice of new postings.

Your Weekend Mission: search the Troop Website and find the revised Flyer for the Troop Contests (Neckerchief & Troop T-Shirt), then click and print it. Hint: Forms & Links. The contest deadline is approaching fast! Oh yeah, there will be a test at the troop meeting.

If there are any pictures or other materials to be posted, please forward them to me by email. Some of the other home troops must have had a Court of Honor this year – send me the details for recognition of the Scouts on the Blog (sample blog post).

See you all soon.

Webmaster Dave Elwell

PS We have two rather important Committee positions open – Committee Chair and Treasurer. I’m betting two Buffalo BBQ tickets that we can have those positions filled before the end of our Parents Meeting on April 23^rd. The Annual Buffalo BBQ (held for more than 50 years) is April 25^th from 4:00 to 8:00 PM, dine-in or take-out. If you have not been to Troop 410’s Annual Buffalo BBQ, or don’t have your tickets yet, call me at 801-860-1073.
