From a Tiger Cub Scout to Eagle, twelve years in Scouting,Ethan has earned Scouting America's highest rank.  Along the way, he has hiked across Philmont, participated in the National Jamboree, and explored Devil's Lake among many camping trips.   Ethan has served in leadership in the Troop, in the Order of the Arrow, with National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT), and at National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience (NAYLE).  All of these adventures are available to our Scouts.  If you are interested in doing more as a Scout...just ask.

Check in at Lake Forest High School at between 6 and 6:30 am.  The chartered bus will leave at 7:00 am on the dot.  Don't be late!

Last week, we held the Spring Court of Honor.  Many awards were given, many more were earned.  Scouts, if you did not receive what you feel you earned, please send a note to advancement@libertyvilletroop71.org from your Troop Registered e-mail account.  Be sure to specify what you are missing and when you completed the work.

Summer Campers:  You may have noticed that most merit badges only had sign-up slots in the mornings.  New this year, the camp is treating the afternoon periods as "open" for you to choose what you want to do.  You're free to "drop-in" to merit badge classes open house style or you can swim, shoot, hike, and enjoy all the activities the camp offers without being tied to a set schedule. 

The Guide To Safe Scouting is an overview of the Scouting policies and procedures.  All Leaders should be familiar with the document.  Parents should also review the document.  This is a set of guidelines which forms the backbone of how the Troop and Scouting operate.  It does not cover all situations or everything in detail but is an overview.  Click here for the current online version.  A PDF has been placed in the Files section of the website.

Summer Campers:  Annual medical records for ALL participants (youth and adult) need to be updated before camp.  We'll need two hard copies of forms A-C plus two copies of your insurance card.  One set goes to the camp medical office and other stays at our campsite for our adult leaders to reference in an emergency.
