At the Troop meeting on Thursday we will have a “Lost and Found” display from the camp-out at Bullfrog Lake. Despite Scoutmaster Flaherty’s instructions to the scouts, none of these items were labeled. They were spread out on a picnic table at the end of the camp-out and none of the scouts seemed to recognize their own gear.

We have two suggestions:
LABEL EVERYTHING that your scout takes to a camp-out
Have your scout pack his own bag

Both of these requirements will be very important at summer camp.

This list of items left behind at the camp-out is beyond anything we have experienced in the past. Please talk to your scout, but if you don’t think he will be able to identify his gear, a parent may want to come to the meeting Thursday to claim the following items:

– white plastic camping cutlery, knife/fork/ spoon on a ring
– expandable camp cup
– green plastic two ended unit with fork/ spoon
– metal camp fork
– blue mesh bag
– back / green trim champion brand youth gloves
– cooking dish with handle
– mini pan / pot with lid
– youth Levi jeans 26w/ 26.5 L “527 style”
– neckerchief (Cindy Reynolds has it)

In case you didn’t see the earlier e-mail from Susan about this, Bullfrog Lake campground said a scout left behind a pair of boots; they are going to clean the mud off them and hold onto them in hopes that they will be claimed. The boots are tan with black soles – the size indicates one of our younger scouts left them behind. If your son did not come home with his boots, please call Bullfrog Lake:
Phone: 312-636-9785
Address: 9600 Wolf Rd, Willow Springs, IL 60480

One of our scouts is missing a blue, non-mesh (Coleman) bag for his sleeping bag.

If your scout came home with anything that was not his, please bring it to the meeting on Thursday.
