Online Classes going well!

HELLO EVERYONE! I hope this finds all of you and your families well!

ONLINE CLASSES –   Remember, your scouts, boys or girls, can watch  Scout rank advancement videos at your convenience and learn and practice skills for advancement. The link to these videos is : Advancement.

When they are ready to have it signed off, here is the procedure:

For boys –  email Jim Davis at greyhaus@gmail.com. He will contact you to schedule a video conference with you and your scout. For youth protection purposes, a parent must be present (at least within earshot) while this call is taking place for Youth Protection purposes. Once the scout has demonstrated the skill to Jim’s satisfaction he will track the completed skill for updating in the book at a later date.

For girls:   email Jen Walter at rjwalter1@comcast.net OR Julie Tylman  at julie.tylman@pearson.com

They will contact you to schedule a video conference with you and your scout. For youth protection purposes, a parent must be present (at least within earshot) while this call is taking place for Youth Protection purposes. Once the scout has demonstrated the skill to their satisfaction they will track the completed skill for updating in the book at a later date. Let me or any of your leadership know if you have any trouble, or have any questions or concerns!

PERSONAL FITNESS  –  Next Tuesday, May 26, at 7 PM, is our third Personal Fitness Class time via Zoom. Link/Details will be posted that afternoon. Be prepared to discuss the homework- careers in personal fitness. We will do the classwork via Zoom again, and the physical part of it later in the spring/summer, or each scout can do it on their own with a parent.

SUMMER CAMP  – As far as we know, camp is still on. I am being told that they are updating the camp to include masks, hand washing and sanitizing stations, all new medical equipment and meals will be made at campsites instead of the dining hall. You should plan to bring 1-2 face coverings with you, and laundry services are going to be available. We will plan on having a summer camp meeting, either in person or virtually, in early to mid-June.

Remember: AS FAR AS I KNOW,  your scout still needs to have a physical done before camp. Here is a link to the forms. I need all three parts filled out and the front and back of an insurance card.

Medical Form

2019 Over the Counter & Special Needs

If they cancel camp, you will be refunded the full price. If, after payment, you personally decide sending them to camp is not right for your family, the initial information that I have (which is not 100% certain yet) is that a full refund would be given, minus about $40.
