Parents,

If you are attending or driving to Camp Wente, Camp Cherry Valley, Sierra 50 or Seabase, you must be Youth Protection Trained. This training is good for 2 year and is an 0n-line course. See below for instruction.

Good Evening Troop 236,

I wanted to take a moment to clarify one aspect regarding summer events. I will be very busy for the next 8 weeks and I have asked the Landgraf family to take charge of the Blue Shirts and Red Fleeces. Please contact them to acquire these items, the prices will be the same at $15 a shirt and $35 a fleece. Thank you for your understanding.

Troop 236,

It is coming to the end of a great year. We all have had fun at many events, and I would like to collect any remaining pictures of those events to remember them on our website. I have many pictures already, but that is no excuse to not turn in your own. I am also still collecting pictures of Yosemite too. Anyone who has not given me pictures of this year's trip should get them into me soon before they might forget. Please email me back (at t236historian@gmail.com) if you have any pictures and would like to discuss how to get them to me.

BSA has announced a special program in honor of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the BSA, which includes the reintroduction, for 2010 only, of four Historical Merit Badges - Carpentry, Pathfinding, Signaling, and Tracking. The requirements for each can be reviewed at http://usscouts.org/meritbadges.asp. These merit badges will be retired again in December 2010. We are looking for merit badge counselors to sponsor each of these merit badges. Please let me know if you would be willing to be the merit badge counselor and would plan to offer these merit badges to the boys (either during the summer or next fall).

Hey new scouts of Troop 236! Sign-ups for summer camp at Wente Scout Reservation are now open for both scouts and a few parents. Come join us!

Wente Scout Reservation is the traditional boy scout summer camp. It has a private warm mountain lake for water activities including swimming, boating and fishing. Located in Willits, CA.

Please be advised that there are some new advancement requirements for 2010.
If you bought your Boy Scout book before 2010, you probably do not have these in your book, but they are required for advancement.
