Unsold Camp Cards DUE TONIGHT

Camp Card money ($10 per card) and unsold cards are due to Bob Morgan tonight, Monday, April 30. Please be aware that once you took possession of the cards, you became responsible for their value. If you lose them, you must pay the Troop $5 per card because that's what we must pay Council back for each card that we don't return. 

Troop Swim Test TONIGHT

Reminder that tonight's Troop meeting will be our annual swim test.

Join us at 7pm at the Longhorn Activity Center, 5350 Basswood Blvd, Fort Worth.

Cost: $3/person, payable at the Activity Center.

Annual swim tests are required by BSA for Scouts and adults who are participating in any type of water activity with the troop (swimming, motorboating, canoeing, kayaking, etc.). Also, anyone who is going to summer camp, Chisholm Trail, or the Whitewater High Adventure should take the swim test.

Lifeguards will also be signing off on Second Class requirements 5a-5d, and First Class requirements 6a and 6e. Scouts who have not yet reached First Class rank should bring their handbooks and be prepared to get their sign-offs for those requirements.

See you there!  Bring a towel.

May Camping - Caving

Photo Source - Wild Cave Tours @ Colorado Bend State Park

For our May campout, we'll be going to Colorado Bend State Park where we will be doing some wild caving.

"Come and get an introduction to real wild caving with The Adventure Tour, our beginner's version of an authentic Central Texas Caving experience. This trip is our intermediate difficulty tour and it takes you a little deeper underground than our Discovery Tour but it is a relaxed and easy expedition for anyone who is ready to crawl and get dirty!" The Discovery Tour is also available for anyone who prefers a less-intense experience."

Please note there are costs associated with the cave tours.  The cost for the Adventure Tour is $25/person. The cost of the shorter Discovery Tour is $12/person. Descriptions of both tours are found HERE. The $15 food to the patrol's QM is due the Monday before the camping trip.

Permission forms are HERE.  These were due April 16.

Meal planning was conducted at Monday night's Troop meeting.  Due to campsite restrictions we have a maximum number of 64 overnight participants for this campout. Of those 64 available spots, we have 3 left if anyone else would like to sign up. We cannot guarantee caving tour availability, however, because reservations have already been made. At your request, we will be glad to check with Nichols Outdoor to see whether or not the tours are sold out.

Art In The Square
