Boy Scout Troop 22

Thank you to all who showed up for the Memorial Day Flag Planting on Saturday Morning. We all had a great time honoring those who served.

Also:

Thank You to all who came to the Arrow of Light Ceremony at Camp Maluhia. Thanks boys for being there to welcome the new oncoming boys.

And Once again thank you to Mark for allowing the use of his rifles and ammunition for the Troop shoot, and to Rosanne for putting together the barbecue lunch after the shoot. It all went together great!

Aloha Everyone:
This weekend is the Arrow of Light for the Webelos at Camp Maluhia.
If you would like to go to camp on Saturday morning or evening and spend the night the cost is $10.00. If you would like to join the Boy Scouts for dinner on Saturday night the cost is $5.00 (If this is not correct Ellie will reply to everyone and correct me.)
We will need the boy scouts at campfire/arrow of light by around 5:30 on Saturday (or earlier if Mark asks on Thursday at our meeting).
We will also be having a Troop Shoot and Boy Scout BBQ on Sunday. The Troop Shoot will start around 9:00 and we will have an early BBQ to celebrate the end of the school year.
We look forward to seeing everyone.
Please come to the meeting on Thursday night to get more details.
Thank you,
Rosanne

WE ARE GOING TO NEED ALL SCOUTS AND PARENTS TO HELP OUT WITH THIS VERY IMPORTANT FUNDRAISER.
PLEASE REVIEW THE LIST OF SUPPLIES NEEDED AND E-MAIL ME BACK TO CONFIRM THAT YOU WILL BE THERE AND WHAT YOU CAN BRING FROM THE LIST BELOW.
THANKS VERY MUCH.

SATURDAY, MAY 15
CAR WASH FUNDRAISER AT AZEKA 10:00 - 4:00
(***Everyone to be there at 9:00 am for set up***)
This is an important fundraiser and we will need everyone (scouts and parents) to come out and help.
We should be able to raise at least $1,000.00 that day.
Rosanne has submitted all the required paperwork to both the Scout Office and Azeka in order to have this carwash. The reservation for this date was made months in advance (there are a lot of non-profits that want to have their car wash at Azeka.

We will need the following items the day of:

Signs - Each scout is to create a sign so that we can advertise our car wash
Please try to make the sign as large as possible and lots of color.
The boys will take turns holding up their signs on the sidewalk.

1 Faucet to Hose splitter for 2 hoses - Mark
2 long Hoses and 2 spray nozzles - Mark
car wash soap - Rosanne
Lots of pails
Lots of rags
soft brushes with long handles
squeegees
4 step stools/short ladders to reach the roof

2 shade tents
2 - 6' tables (Rosanne to bring one)
Cash Box (Does anyone have one???)
Bring your own chair
Bring your own cooler with drinks and snacks
(There are lots of restaurants close by to pick up lunch)


Everyone received 12 pre-sale tickets. The carwash cost is $5.00 for a car and $7.00 for a truck.
If you want to offer people a $1.00 discount on your tickets you can do so. I am expecting that everyone turn in $60.00 for their 12 tickets. The amount they turn in will go into their own account
and they will receive the whole amount as credit towards their costs of travel to Alaska in 2011 to attend Boy Scout Summer Camp in Alaska next summer.

The money we make the day of will be split among the boys who help wash cars all day.

THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ONGOING CONTRIBUTIONS TO MAKING THIS CAR WASH A GREAT AND FUN SUCCESS.

-Rosanne

2010 NATIONAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING (NYLT)
MONDAY, JUNE 21 - SATURDAY, JUNE 26
This camp is limited to 20 boys. Must be 13 or 14 years old (Mark checking on age limit) and have your First Class.
Please get your paperwork in right away. Let Mark know if you need an application.
(Those who will be staffing will need to go up early to attend Staff Work Shop for Team Building starting Wed. June 16, 17, 18, 19th.
Full days each day and 1/2 day on Sat., Sunday off and return to camp on Monday, June 21st.)


ANYONE WHO HAS THEIR FIRST CLASS AND IS 14 YEARS OLD MAY HELP STAFF SUMMER CAMP THIS YEAR.
PLEASE LET MARK KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.
YOU WILL NEED TO ATTEND AT CAMP THE WEEK BEFORE CAMP STARTS (LAST WEEK IN JUNE) FOR COUNSELOR IN TRAINING (C.I.T.)

**DYLAN & NATHAN are requesting to staff camp this year. These 2 scouts need to get in a short "Scouting Resume" setting out what you have accomplished so far in scouting and why you want to be a Counselor at summer camp. Please turn this in to Mark for his approval and signature as soon as possible so that you can get it in to the Scout office soon.**

JULY 4 - JULY 9 TROOP 22 SUMMER CAMP
Anyone who will be attending camp this year please ask Mark for the forms.
Mark is waiting for the forms for Summer Camp to come from the Scout Office.
This year there will be a Thursday night Luau in the long house and a beach day on Thursday at Kamaole Beach III.
We will let you know if your son needs an updated medical form, which is mandatory for all scouts attending camp.
I believe they need to be renewed every 2 years.
At this time this is the list of scouts attending Summer Camp: Kaleb, Nyk, Justin, Kahua, Beni. (??Noah, Thomas, James??)
New scouts that may be attending: Mitchell, Jordan & Devon.
Chris will be Staff (and maybe Dylan and Nathan).
Nash will not be attending summer camp this year as he will be on the mainland.

Merit Badges the scouts are working on now.
Tracking - finishing up
Signaling - finishing up - all boys are to memorize their full name in morse code and be able to send a signal via flashlight in morse code.
Most boys did the semaphore (flags) at Scoutorama.
The next merit badge will be Wood Building/Carpentry.

Rosanne ordered a new flag pole and Fleur De Lis topper. The flag pole arrived, but still waiting on topper.

Please check with your son to see if he received a "Blue Card" for a merit badge he may be working on on his own time.

Please turn in the Merit Badge Counselor Forms.
Parents - please complete the form with information on any merit badges you may be able to teach.
Ask to look at a book called Boy Scout Requirements or go on line to see a list every single merit badge and the requirements.
You can look through it and see if you have expertise in any area of the many badges that are available.

Coupon Books can still be sold for $20.00 each.
We should be receiving them the beginning of June.
$5.00 from every coupon book sold will come directly back to our Troop.
We are asking that each scout sell 5 books.
If your son does not sell any books maybe think about donating $20 directly to our Troop instead. (Just a thought.)

Some of the committee members met with our charter organization rep - Bob Flabetich - at Kihei Baptist Chapel on April 30th to discuss holding our weekly meetings there starting the middle of June and also creating storage space there. Both requests were well received and Bob will be putting in our requests to the Board of Trustees right away. I spoke to Bob on May 6th and he said things are looking good right now and he is just waiting for formal approval.


Respectfully submitted,
Rosanne Wuthrich
Committee Chairperson

Aloha Everyone:
Today is an important work day at Mid Pacific from 2:00 - 6:00.
This may be the last chance the boys have to prepare for Scoutorama in 2 weeks.
Please do your best to show up at 2:00 and plan on staying to get everything done that Mark needs done. If everyone works together we will not need to get together again next week.
Remember - the Scoutorama event is one of the biggest events that Maui County Council has ever put on and it should be a lot of fun so let's be prepared to show our best by working together to plan our area and activities.
See you there,
Rosanne

We will be having our monthly parent/committee meeting this Thursday, March 11th at 7:00 pm at Mid Pac.

(Has it been one month already?!!!!)
We especially need all parents of the boys who are traveling to Oahu on March 27th come to sign paperwork allowing their son to travel.

If you are one of those parents and cannot make this meeting please make sure to get in touch with Marie to make other arrangements to sign off for your son to travel.

This is very important.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday.
