This form must be renewed every year. The old forms will no longer be accepted after January 1, 2010. New Form: http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/34605_Letter.pdf FAQ’s: http://www.scouting.org/HealthandSafety/Resources/MedicalFormFAQs.aspx Arleeta's Pantry at Woodside UMC provides food for 15 families in the local area. If you have any canned or packaged goods that you can donate, please bring it to any Troop activity and we will be sure it gets to the pantry. A box will be in the Troop room for collections. Annual Troop Program Calendar NOTE FOR TROOP 209 PARENTS Your participation in Troop activities is encouraged and welcome. What's even MORE important is to make sure that you take some basic, brief training on WHAT Scouting is all about. Youth Protection Training is a must, and you can do it online! PLEASE speak with Mr. McNiece, the Committee Chair, or the Scoutmaster to find out how. A trained "Scouter" is better able to participate, to help other Scouts and to add thoughtful ideas to the Troop Committee planning. Also, there's a Scouting site for ALL Parents you should check out: http://www.scoutparents.org/ Scout Opportunities Scout Religious Emblems Program (From AME to Zoroastrian) - http://www.scouting.org/ Learn your knots on-line: http://www.animatedknots.com/ Training Opportunities On-line Adult Training Scouting on-line training center for adults: http://olc.scouting.org/ Board of Review Guide for Scouts & Parents What can you expect? What should an adult ask? How long should the Board last? Troop 209 suggests this link for an excellent resource: http://clipart.usscouts.org/ScoutDoc/Troops/SaddlebackDistBORGuide.doc |
