RISING THROUGH THE RANKS

Thursday’s meeting will be devoted to rank requirement work in the Handbook to help everyone get closer to their next rank.

REVIEW YOUR HANDBOOK: if there is anything you can bring to accommodate your work [a compass, piece of rope, first aid supplies, etc.] bring those along. We’ll also have materials available to support the requirements.

AREAS OF FOCUS will include Knots & Lashings, First Aid, Hiking/Orienteering, and Cooking.

GOALS FOR THE DEC. 13TH MEETING will be set, in case you need to review/prepare for a particular requirement.

INSTRUCTORS AND SENIOR SCOUTS will assist the Assistant Scoutmasters in coaching, when they do not have a STAR or LIFE requirement that they can fulfill.

TENDERFOOT REQ 6C will be completed in the Spring, in time for completing the rank for the Spring Court of Honor.
