To any of our Scouts who will be volunteering Saturday (7/14) at the Bedford Historical Society’s Antique and Classic Car Show: 

Because the weather is forecast to be in the 90’s, and the Bedford High School parking lot lacks shade, I recommend that you wear your class B shirts.  Class A is not required.  Also, be sure to bring plenty of water to drink, sunscreen, and (or) visors.  Food, ice cream, and drinks will be available for purchase.

A huge thank-you to all who have volunteered to help out! 

If anyone else is interested now and hasn’t let us know, it would be helpful if you would send a message to Ms. Wiggin at wigginm@comcast.net or Ms. Reeves at joan_reeves@comcast.net.  You will be earning service credit hours.

Thanks again!

YIS,

Mrs. Moore

Aims and Methods of the Scouting Program
The Scouting program has three specific objectives, commonly referred to as the "Aims of Scouting." They are character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness. The methods by which the aims are achieved are listed below in random order to emphasize the equal importance of each.

Hello Scouts and Scouters,

I finally rescheduled!!! My bake sale at Harvest Market will be July 21 from 10:00am to 2:00pm. We are going to attempt to do 1 hour shifts. If you would like to do more then one that would be great as well!!! I am going to be up at Camp Bell this week for NYLT and up at Wah Tut Cah the following so communication will be a wee bit difficult but I will try my best to get back to you. If you would like to help please email me back. Also I need baked goods so beg your mother( or if you live in a house like mine your fathers) to make baked goods for the fundraiser. The only stipulation is that all ingredients must be listed!!! Thank you.

YIS,
Dewey
