This upcoming campout will be at Bahr Farm located 969 W North Bend Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45224. There will be opportunities for a service project(s). Please see attached permission slip and waiver which will need to be turned in at Tuesday's meeting along with money for food. Cost is $25 per person.

The scouts did a fantastic job with selling wreaths and the order has been placed. Since the items are sold by the case, we will have extras of certain items to sell. (Please let Denise know when you have made additional sales.) This is what we will have available:

As of this past week, here is an updated list of Patrols and Positions:

Flaming Arrows Patrol--Brady, Quentin, Joey, Topher, Nathan, Elias (Brady is the Sr Patrol Leader, Quentin is Bugler and Jr. Asst Scoutmaster, Topher is Troop Guide, Joey is Scribe/Webmaster)

CALLING ADULT VOLUNTEERS: We are planning on holding 2026 Summer Camp at Ransburg Scout Reservation in Bloomington, IN the week of June 7 - 13. With losing some adult volunteers this past year who usually go to Summer Camp, we will be in great need of adult helpers to make camp happen. We would greatly appreciate your consideration in donating your time for our Scouts. There are activities at Ransburg that you can't do at Camp Friedlander so consider attending along with your Scout--it will make for a memorable experience! Check out the link below for more info.

The Merit Badge Counselor list has been updated and is attached below. When you go into the spreadsheet, the tabs at the bottom are labeled "WhitewaterTrails MB's" and "Troop 857 MB's". The Whitewater Trails MB's are those counselors in our District and the Troop 857 MB's has listed all our very own MB counselors! (Remember a Scout is Trustworthy, please do not share this list with anyone to protect the privacy of these volunteers.)

In an effort to keep our camp outs and our scouts safe and secure, we wanted to remind parents (and scouts) that having decent camping gear (better quality) such as tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads and backpacks is EXTREMELY important when dealing with weather conditions such as lots of rain, wind, snow, or very cold temperatures.
