The scouts had an excellent spring Court of Honor tonight, recognizing all the hard work that the scouts have put into their rank advancements and merit badges. Here are some final announcements from the last meeting of the year:

• Congratulations to all the rank advancements, merit badges, and other awards and recognition that many scouts achieved today. Your hard work has paid off today greatly, and keep up the good efforts. 
• Our annual PLC planning meeting for the next year will be on Sunday June 20th. PLC members please attend this meeting so we can plan out the upcoming year and schedule our activities. 
• Please give Mr. Miller your health forms or merit badge selections forms by June 23rd at the latest, so he can give those to the summer camp when the SPL+Leader meeting takes place. 
• The JNW theme days will be coming out soon. If you are interested, keep a look out for those. This is a great way to show scout spirit and we encourage everyone to do so. 
• We will likely be planning an adventure trip in August this year. Scouts, if you have any ideas or suggestions for what you want to do for this trip let Ani know as soon as possible so he can consider those during the PLC. 
• Our rest stop fundraiser is this weekend. Scouts and adults, make sure to come at your correct time slots. We still have slots open for certain timings for scouts and especially for adults. Please fill those spots so we have enough volunteers to help out. 

This is officially the last weekly meeting Eblast for the 2025-2026 scouting season. It's been a pleasure acting as your Webmaster this year. Have a good summer, and we will start again in September. 

Scouts - Don't forget our Spring Court of Honor and last meeting of the 2025-2026 Scout year is tomorrow at our usual time.

We'll be meeting upstairs in the main meeting room at the Church.  Enter through the main level and we'll be on your left.     Parents and family are invited.

Don't forget to wear your full class A uniform,

and in the EBlast we meant to say: 

"Last names starting with A-M please bring a finger food snack to share, and last names starting with N-Z please bring a drink to share".

If you have your Summer Camp medical form or Merit Badge selections, please get those to me then if you can.

See you Wednesday! 

Scouts - We're updating records in the online Scoutbook, and have had some questions about "Partials".   Those are Merit Badges that have been started but not Completed.

Please review the list sent out via email or WhatsApp, and also look for any physical blue card partials you have from previous years which are not on here.    If you have one of those, you can take a picture and text or email it to me and I will update your records.

 We may not have connected you to a Counselor yet for a MB you are working on.   Let us know about those as well.

Let me know if anything is missing or wrong.

Don't worry about "No Requirements Complete".   That could be a MB that you started but then switched to a different one at Summer Camp.

For our MB Counselors - If you've started a MB with any Scout, please let me know, and I can connect you to them in the online Scoutbook to mark them as "Started".

Thanks!     Mike Miller

The scouts had an excellent meeting working on rank requirements and merit badges. Here are the important announcements from tonight's meeting:

• Our spring Court of Honor is coming up soon. The Spring Court of Honor will be on Wednesday June 10th. Scouts, if you have any rank advancements or merit badges that you have completed between now and the last Court of Honor, you must email either Mr. Miller or Ms. Krajewski (our new advancement coordinator!) by next Wednesday (June 3rd)
• NOTE: Because of the transfer between Mr. Morris and Ms. Krajewski for the advancement coordinator position, some information was lost. If you have gotten a rank advancement or merit badge that you told Mr. Morris about, please confirm it with Ms. Krajewski so that she also has it, in case that information was lost between the switch. If you need to contact Ms. Krajewski or Mr. Miller about any of these things for the Court of Honor, I have written their emails below.
