For those attending Camp Dietler, a few very important announcements for scouts and parents:

Health Forms

Although we all turned in Health Forms A and B for re-charter, we all will need Form C, the one the doctor signs, and a copy of immunization records (the Colorado form) for Camp Dietler this summer.  I would strongly urge you to make appointments in the next few weeks for the “well-scout” check and get this Form C signed by the physician.  If these are not completed, your son cannot attend Dietler.
  Current means within a year of camp, i.e. July 5, 2014; hence, any Form C older than July 5, 2014 will need to be redone.  Forms are available at the website www.bsacoloradoadventure.org

I only have a current Form C from the following scouts, and Bruce Johnson may have a few (which I will add to the list this Thursday):
Ryan Mahoney
William Miller
Benson Adams
Nico Kuiper

That means the majority of us will need Form C done in the next five weeks.

Boots
Get them if you don’t have them now and break ’em in.

Orange Cards
I need orange cards for Dietler and the $40.00 deposit from:
Cameron Crites
Joe Caldwell
Connor Corkill
Curtis George
Ryan Harris
Austin Egan
Tyler Iden
Jackson Weeks
Colin McCann
Nicholas Saindon
Mathew Poynter
Blake Burns
Christian Hentrich
Andrew Turano

Swim Test
We need to swim test before camp.  The date will be June 11, 2015 at 6:30 PM at the Trails Recreation Center.  This will take the place of our regular troop meeting that night, and will also be fun (slides and a good lazy river).  But the swim test is somewhat rigorous for boys and adults that don’t swim much, so I recommend getting to pools and doing a little bit of conditioning.
