Meetings – As a reminder, each week a different patrol is responsible for the meeting. This means putting together the program and getting a speaker if needed. The patrol leader is to work with his assistant patrol leader and the rest of the patrol to come up with a program. We have 7 patrols and this means that a patrol is only responsible for one meeting every 7th week, which is not a lot. I will be calling the patrol leader each week to check on the program for the upcoming meeting.

The meeting responsibilities for the rest of the year are listed below. You can swap with another patrol if you both agree to the swap. Please let me know if you swap. Thanks.

July 27 – Blue Beavers – D.A.R.E. program
August 3 – Scorpions – Troop Emergency Mobilization / Preparation for Ocoee
August 10 – Flying Eagles – Philmont presentation
August 17 – Rattlesnakes
August 24 – Dragons

Craig Stanford’s Eagle Project Workday is Saturday, July 24th, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Jul 20

Posted by Gary Coker in Advancement, Archive, Events | No Comments

Brierfield Ironworks Park is located between Montevallo and Centreville. Meet at the Cumberland Presbyterian parking lot at 8:00 AM if you want a ride (where we usually meet for trips).

We will be constructing and placing 10 picnic tables. This will involve installing carriage bolts on previously constructed supports and screwing on seat and tabletop planking, followed by moving these tables to the spots where they will be used.

Please bring electric screwdrivers, which will be extremely useful. There are a lot of screws to be put in these tables, so having as many of these as possible will both speed the process and make it easier. We also will need a couple of drills and ratchet sets. You may want to bring a pair of work gloves as well.

Call Craig at 413-7405 or his dad at 999-5833 if you have any questions, need directions, or can bring any tools. Lunch and drinks will be provided.

Attached is the final roster for the Ocoee trip. I had to submit a final number. If any spots open up then we can replace those spots if any others are interested. Please check the roster so that if I made a mistake I can correct it with the outfitter. We have to pay for these reserved spots. We have 65 campers, 45 rafting both days and 62 rafting on Saturday. We are going to have some fun!

Also attached is a waiver. I need one of these for every person going ahead of time! Please send a waiver and payment to one of the next 2 meetings, or you can mail it to me if you won’t be there.

Mail to: 1421 Sutherland Place , Birmingham , AL 35242

All: I’ll once again be teaching the Swimming MB this Saturday, 7/17, beginning at 7:30am, at Mr. Holle’s home. For all those going on the upcoming rafting/kayaking trip, or for any others without this Eagle-required MB, please come with your MB book, having read it, bring all the required gear and your written report. We should be able to complete all the requirements with a little cooperation and a bit of advance effort.

Mr. Holle’s home is located at 4557 Dolly Ridge Road .

I’ll appreciate a head’s up on whom to expect. I’d like not to spend more time than needed or wait for anyone who’s not coming.

Thanks –

OK. We’ve had a couple of additional changes. The attachment is where we are at this time. We have 26 people set to go and this is a great size group for what we are doing.

The Patrol Leaders are Jared Long, Jeffrey Bannon and Miles Bragdon Hall. They need to look at this list and make sure they are aware of who is coming and that all of patrol’s food and gear is ready.

Mike Anderton may not be able to meet us at 2, but we have made arrangements for everyone and the trailer. Mike will be on the trip. He may just have to chase us down later in the evening.

I will see you all a little before 2:00 and we will try to be on the road as close to 2 p.m. as possible.

Pensacola Trip Update – Final?

I am getting very excited about this weekend’s trip. We have 32 people confirmed and signed up. I just checked the weather and is looks like the temperature will dip down to 80-degrees Friday and Saturday night! Hint….leave your zero-degree bag in the closet this weekend.

For Friday, we are meeting at the church parking lot a little before 2:00 p.m. and hope to pull out by 2:15 p.m. Come early enough to get your gear into the trailer! You shouldn’t need a lot of gear. You will be wearing your Class A’s and you will need a swim suit and a change of clothes for Saturday afternoon.

The following individuals will be driving: Loring Jones (in scout van), Mike Anderton, Tully Corbett, Philip Earnest, Scott Tyra, Steven Bunn and Jimmy Long. Each driver NEEDS to be prepared for a toll of $1 to get onto Pensacola Beach and then a $8 charge for each vehicle to enter the State Park. The charge for the park is good for 7 days, so you can come and go as you need. The vehicle assignments are included on the attachment.

As I mentioned, we have 32 individuals set to go this weekend. Scott Tyra has offered to go a little early and help us get checked in. I will be looking for everyone else BY 2:00 p.m. Friday. Please bring everything your patrol is expecting for the meals and the dessert. If you have any issues or questions, please reach out to your Patrol Leader for the trip. If you don’t know who that is, reach out to David Sides, as he is the trip Senior Patrol Leader.

I have a couple of requests for Scouts and Dads:
1) Any scout who is ready for a board, bring your book and we will try to get it done while in camp.
2) Any scout that would like to lead a Campfire Program, please let me know ASAP. This is a requirement for your Communications Merit Badge.
3) Any Dad that has access to a little fire wood, please let me know and bring it Friday. The amount of wood at camp is minimal.
4) We need a couple of bags of charcoal for the meals and desserts. If anyone would like to volunteer to bring a bag, please let me know.
5) Almost everyone has paid Jeffrey Hall for the meals this weekend. If you were not at the meeting Tuesday or were not able to pay him yet, please do so when you see him Friday.
6) Drivers don’t forget – you will need to have the cash you need to pay for tolls during our trip down Friday evening! The details are a couple of paragraphs previous.

After checking out the attachment, if there is anything I can do to help you prepare, please don’t hesitate to give me a call.

Jimmy Long
