After Action reports

Water carnival parade went smoothly. Had enough freezes with 3000. Next year try having adults hand them out by walking with wagons. Have them froze and separated ahead of time. Concern about pulling the trailer with the truck... kids could get between truck and wagon and driver might not see immediately; perhaps pull with a tractor.

Day camp went well. Had 1/2 hour activities. Kids were excited to be there, and there were new things the 2nd day to keep them interested.

Family camp at Stearns went well, but lack of people. No archery or swimming. Carts were great. Decision on where to have fall camp out to be made at Aug 3 meeting.

Karen O needs list of who participated in camps, parade, floats, etc. for months of June, July, August so summer awards can be given to those who participated all three months. For a July activity scouts could attend the 80th anniversary of pack 246 sunday July 27th at 2pm at Christ the King. Come in uniform. Could also attend a scout twins game, or Fun in the sun which runs until the end of July.

Spring Clean-Up

The 2008 Spring Clean-up was a great success. The Scouts would especially like to thank Cat, Scott, and Chris for setting up this event. Approximately 25 scouts and adults participated and the weather was great. Thanks!

Memorial Day Parade
