Here's another opportunity for the Scouts to engage in Shooting Sports. It's the annual Shooting Sports Day on August Sat. August 25th. This is a fun day and NOT an opportunity to complete Merit Badge work. Please notice the PDF attachment at the bottom of the Announcement.

Now that summer is almost over, and camp is finished, it's BOR time! If you have completed rank requirements and had your Scoutmaster conference, please contact Mrs. Anderson (crazybutttricia@gmail.com) for a Board of Review.

Volunteer Opportunity- a trail clean up and wood duck house clean and inspection from 1 to 4PM. We plan on going off trail to really capture as much of the trash at that location as possible.

As a friendly reminder please sign up for the upcoming camp out in September.
Camping at Governor Dodge state park.
Scouts $30 adults $50

A swim test will be required for any participant that does not have the swimming merit badge or was not swim tested at MSR this summer. Swim test will be sometime in late August.

Greetings Troop 48!

Lake Forest Day is Wednesday, August 1st! Now is the time to sign up!

As many of you know, Troop #48 assists the American Legion Post with the Lake Forest Day parade and carnival. The Troop helps sell raffle tickets, post flags and by setting up, staffing booths and tearing down the Lake Forest Days festival. Lake Forest Day presents a tremendous opportunity to demonstrate leadership AND earn service for advancement and Citizenship in the Community merit badge. For those under 1st Class, volunteering will also count as a Troop or Patrol activity! Take a look at the signup pages on the website and sign up for the Parade and to work the LF Days concession stand. All scouts are asked to participate in the Parade. PLC members, by nature of Leadership agreements, are committed to participating in the Parade. We will also need Adult Leaders available to supervise the Parade and LF Days concession sales.

Mr. Moyer (Anson Moyer's dad) developed a new product for Boy Scout camps called the MosquitOasis. It's a pop-up mosquito net tent that fits on top of a camping cot like those at Ma Ka Ja Wan. He is offering our home troop a special discount 50% off and a free solar-powered reading lamp. Just use code TROOP48 at checkout!
