Severe
Weather
In the event of severe weather please listen to or be watching our local radio/TV stations for cancellations. If the North Platte public schools have been canceled or are dismissed early then scouts will be canceled that evening as well. Lost
& Found
Our lost and found collection is growing and we need to eliminate it. Please look and see if any items are yours, all remaining items will be given to scouts that want them or gifted to Goodwill.
Firewood Available
Our firewood chairpersons are Mike and Shellie Slaba. Phone: 534.7934. We will direct all wood orders to them to handle. We will need volunteers who will be available to help cut, load and deliver wood. If you are willing to do so, please give Mike and Shellie your phone number and the days/evenings that work best for you to deliver. We will be trying to set up some work dates to go cut and stack wood so when the winter months arrive and people start calling for wood, we will have it ready to go. The price of firewood will still be $75 for all in town deliveries and $85 for delivery to towns surrounding North Platte.
Please remember the first Thursday of each month is inspection night. During the school year, class A uniforms are to be worn during the meetings. We also need to represent our troop properly on any outside function/field trip by wearing our class A uniform, unless told otherwise. During the summer months, class B uniforms are acceptabe to wear every Thursday, with the exception of inspection night when your Class A uniform is required. The class B uniform is shorts and any of Troop 293 or summer camp t-shirts. Also, please wear your Class
A uniforms if you are going for a BOR.
Summer
Camp 2009
We need all boys to research area summer camps for next year. Although it seems a long way off, the boys will need to present their findings and vote on one. Most camps need to be reserved by the end of the year, which is now only a few months away. We are also in need of an adult who would like to volunteer to be in charge of this task as soon as possible. Eagle
Scout Training Class

your Eagle scout rank and are close to the Life rank, you will need to
