Boy Scouts Troop 512: July 2009

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

A word from the Scoutmaster

The troop will not meet on every Thursday during July and August. We currently are planning on meeting on Saturday, July 18 at Brazos Bend State Park for day long activities. This may be the only meeting we have during the month of July. I will speak to our Assistant Scoutmasters and develop a plan for the activies at Brazos Bend.

For August, we have scheduled the Court of Honor for Thursday, August 20. We will talk more about this over the next couple of weeks.

Please complete any merit badges and/or rank achievements so that we can plan our Scoutmaster conferences and Board of Reviews well in advance of our Court of Honor.

A SCOUT IS REVERENT - RELIGIOUS KNOT

Religious Emblems for Boy Scouts,Varsity Scouts,Venturers, and Explorers

(For information go to: http://www.usscouts.org/, Advancement, Religious)

"A Scout is Reverent." All Scouts show this by being faithful in their duty to God. Some go further and give special service. This can qualify them for a religious emblem. Such an emblem is not a Scouting award. It is conferred on a Scout by his religious leader. Each faith has its own requirements for earning its emblem. Listed on the web link are the BOY SCOUT and VARSITY SCOUT emblems and where to find out about them. Before writing or visiting your local council service center, check with your religious leader.
(Unless indicated otherwise, awards listed may be earned by both Boy Scouts and Varsity Scouts.) Older Boy Scouts of Varsity Scout age (over 14), Venturers, and Sea Scouts (and in some cases, Explorers) are eligible for any awards that Varsity Scouts may earn.
