CyberChip
New scouts will start planning a lesson with mini-activities.

• As an individual or with your patrol, use the EDGE method and mini lessons to teach Internet safety rules, behavior, and “netiquette” to your troop or another patrol. You are encouraged to use any additional material and information you have researched. Each member of the patrol must have a role and present part of the lesson. (Link to mini-activities)

Reminder: New scouts should start working on Cyber Chip. Find the requirements and links here:

Dear Scouts and Families,

This summer our High Adventure outing is a backpacking trip in the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness, east of Steamboat near the Wyoming state line. It's a beautiful and rugged area that's less visited than the parks and trails in central Colorado. Our trip will begin early on Monday, July 24, returning by noon on Friday, July 28. This will be a big adventure as well as a good opportunity to prepare for Philmont in 2018. As a High Adventure outing it is for Scouts 14 and older.

ScoutBook is a great way to keep track of requirement completion for merit badges and rank advancement. While it would be possible for a scout to mark the requirements as complete and a leader to mark them as approved completely online, one of the benefits of scouting is interaction between scouts and adults. Therefore, after marking a requirement as complete, the scout should seek out the appropriate leader (scoutmaster for rank advancement and merit badge counselor for merit badges) to discuss the completion of the requirement. Only then can the leader approve the completion of the requirement.

The Troop is updating our uniform requirement effective in time for Camp Alexander in June. For full Class A uniform we would like to see the scouts in BSA official pants/shorts and shirt. We recommend the nylon pants with zip-off legs.
