Our May campout will be a relaxed experience at Saint Francois State Park. The boys will have the opportunity to play any games they bring, field sports (feel free to bring frisbees, balls, etc), and will even be able to fish in the Big River, should there be enough interest. This campout will be one in which there will be few formally organized activities. The campout will be from May 25-27, 2012 (Memorial Day weekend – but not Memorial Day). We will be leaving the church at 6:30, sharp. In light of the campout, our Troop will not participate in the Memorial Day Good turn at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, this year. The spring camp-o-ree was a great success! While the families of the Scouts of Troop 501 were weathering the storms that hit Saint Louis, we had a dry weekend, with mostly blue skies. The boys had a blast moving from station to station, and racing the car they built. The food was good, and there was plenty to eat. We can’t wait for the next one. Sunday, May 27, 2012 will be the annual Memorial Day Good Turn at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. This will be the 63rd year that Scouts will be placing American flags on the graves of our brave servicemen and women. We will meet at the church parking lot at 11:00 am, and carpool. Be sure to bring a water bottle, and rain gear! Patches are available for purchase, and are priced as follows: Main Patch (Does not change from year-to-year) – $3; Year Tabs (2012, and limited quantities of prior years) – $0.50; 60 Year Commemorative lapel pin – $1.00. This year’s Spring Camp-O-Ree will be at S Bar F Scout Ranch, April 27-29, and the theme is: The Amazing Race. There will be many events that we will compete in throughout Saturday, with a campfire Saturday night. The cost is $21, with $15 for food, and $6 for the Camp-O-Ree camp fees. This is sure to be a GREAT event!!! We will leave the church parking lot at 6:30… We will get to set up camp during daylight. Yea!!! |
