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!

Troop #48 helps the American Legion post flags by each veteran’s grave site on Memorial Day Weekend. On Friday, 5/25, from 4 – 5 PM, the Legion needs help at the Fort Sheridan cemetery. On Saturday, 5/26, they need help from 8 – 10 AM at Lake Forest Cemetery. Scouts are encouraged to participate in these activities to show respect for our fallen veterans and to support the American Legion. Participation in flag posting counts as a Troop or Patrol activity AND qualifies (partially) as demonstrating Leadership and Scout Spirit for advancement. Please register on the website if you can attend.

The spring Court of Honor is June 7th. If a board of review is needed, please contact Mrs. Anderson (crazybutttricia@gmail.com) & Mrs. Olenick (jolenick@olenick.com) by Thursday May 24th.
