Scouts, I have had two boys express interest in working on the Family Life merit badge. If you are also interested, please email me. This is an Eagle required merit badge, one requiring more involvement and maturity to complete than most as there is work at home, completion of a chore chart over a 3-month period, and quite a bit of writing. It is suggested that you have a rank of First Class or higher before working on this merit badge. I need to change the schedule for those interested in Family Life merit badge. We will not be meeting this coming Tuesday, Jan 14 or Jan 28. We can meet Feb 4 and Feb 18 at 6:00 at the church. Please let me know if you are available. If you want to get started before the February meetings, please print out the merit badge workbook from www.meritbadge.org . You can begin by reading requirements 3 (chore chart), 4 (home project), and 5 (family project) and reading examples that meet the requirement in the merit badge book....
Parents and scouts: Just to clarify, the newsletter had our summer camp date incorrect. We will be going to Camp Falling Rock on June 29th-July 5th. Sorry for the confusion. The cost for Summer camp is as follows: Payment Schedule Camp fees are: $270.00 per youth and $170.00 per adult. An early bird discount of $20.00 is applied if a deposit of $25.00 is made by March 1 and the remaining balance of $225.00 is paid in full by May 1 then the Scout will receive the “Early Bird Discount” [The total of Camp will then be $250.00.] Fees will be made payable to Boy Scout Troop 136 and we will register the scouts as a unit. Please start to think about this and be ready for the early bird discount dates. We will have further discussion on summer camp as we get closer to spring. Think about that Warmer Weather.....

Parents and Scouts: Due to the closing of Southwestern City Schools for 1/7/14 we will not have our scout meeting tomorrow night as well. We will resume again on 1/14/14. SCOUTS – Please use this day off tomorrow to work on your advancement items [Alec – that means you too]. We have a Court of Honor at the end of the month and would love to have you get recognition at that time for your efforts. Remember that we are going winter tent camping on the 18th. I can imagine it will be COLD. Our theme for tonight was to be on winter camping. That will be moved to next week. SO – Use your scout book and prepare yourself! If you have any questions please drop me a note. Thanks – and stay warm! Kirk Bohanan Scoutmaster Troop 136
