TO ALL It looks like the stay at home period is going to be longer than originally estimated.  With that in mind we still need to keep Scouting active. In Bulletin #1 we asked for the scouts to fill out a form with those requirements they still need for Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class and send it to me.   So far I have received six returns. Please encourage your Scouts to fill in the forms and send them in.  Patrol leaders, call your Scouts and remind them to do it. Form attached. We will be testing an online version of a Board of Review this week and if successful we can do rank advancement.  Committee members, we will look to you to help operate the Boards.  Instructions will be forthcoming.
