We will hold our Court of Honor to recognize all those scouts that have earned rank advancements and merit badges.  We will try to start the CoH promptly at 7:00 PM.  Grant Ogle, Life Scout, will be our Master of Ceremonies for the Court of Honor.  Austin Etheridge, the Senior Patrol Leader, will be coordinating the overall program.

Immediately following the Court of Honor, we will eat and play games in the park.  Scouts should wear class B under their class A uniform so they can remove their class A after the CoH.  There is a nice playground for younger siblings, a sand volleyball court and basketball courts for those that have the skills. There are also walking trails for those that eat too much, and a nice water view to relax and visit with friends.

Hope you had a great week. Here are a few updates and action items for you. 

1. Merit Badge requests & Camp Programs

1. Merit Badges: Scouts / Parents (ACTION REQUIRED) please review the merit badge guide and start thinking about which merit badges you want to take. Most classes are 90 minutes long. It is first come first serve basis.  A Merit Badge request form will be emailed out next week to collect your requests. Yes, you can earn the Snow Sports merit badge at Summer Camp in Texas.
2. 1st year summer campers: Consider signing up for the Hammer Patrol which runs from 8:30am to 3pm. You will still have time to select a merit badge in the afternoon like swimming.
3. Camp Programs: Older scouts (15yrs +) could consider BSA lifeguard training which is a whole day training. 

The Lewisville Parks & Recreation is offering numerous Merit badges.  See below of the classes being offered.  You can sign up on line through the link provided below.

LLELA offers opportunities to help Scouts work on skills and knowledge related to merit badges. While these programs are designed to meet badge requirements, members of other youth organizations or children simply interested in these topics are welcome to enroll. It is usually impossible to fulfill all of the requirements of most badges in only a few hours, but LLELA staff will include as much as possible in a series of hands-on, engaging activities

*Most workshop fees range from $15-25 per person ($95 for 2 day Kayak program). Parents dropping off or picking up a Scout for these activities may enter LLELA free of charge for this purpose.

We made a large number of Merit Badge counselor updates. I encourage all Scouts to click on the Merit Badge Resources link to review the current Merit Badge Counselor list in order to determine the current counselor for your area of interest.

Parents we are always looking for volunteers. We would love to add you to the list of Merit Badge Counselors if your vocation or hobby matches a Merit Badge. Our biggest needs are Camping, Hiking, Environmental Science, Orienteering, and then any Merit Badge for which we have either one or no counselors.

Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the Merit Badge counselor updates. (click on "read more" to see name and email FF )
