Next Saturday at 4:00 PM we will be having our trailer loading for Makajawan at the First Presbyterian Church. 
Everyone who is going week 1 or 2 should bring their tubs to load onto the trailer.

Be sure to schedule your Board of Review for your next Rank, Send an e-mail request for BOR to bor@libertyvilletroop71.org.  Boards must be completed by May 31 to be recognized at the Court of Honor on June 6 at Old School Forest Preserve. 

Doing service projects together is one way that Scouts keep their promise “to help other people.” While a Scout should do their best to help other people every day, a group service project is a bigger way to help people. While you’re giving service, you’re learning to work together with others to do something that’s good for your community. Service is often required for rank advancement and many merit badges. Service project opportunities must be pre-approved by the Scoutmaster before you begin. If you see Service Projects in the weekly E-Blast, on the Troop website or Facebook, approval has been granted. Working on an Eagle Project also counts for service.

To update our process for tracking service and to minimize risk due to COVID-19 or loss of paperwork, we ask Scouts to fill out the linked Service Registration form after completion of the service project day so that we can be sure to log this service for their Rank and Merit Badge requirements.

If you are new or at Scout rank and you need Tenderfoot Fitness, we have an opportunity for you.  On Thursday, May 27, we will continue Tenderfoot Fitness - Requirement #6 from Brainerd Field.  This requires 30-days of fitness tracking to complete.  We will measure/record performance with the following: one minute of sit-ups, one minute of push-ups, sit-and-reach, and a timed one mile run.  Scout must show improvement over the 30-days to advance.  Dress ready to exercise.

Rain or shine --> BSA Weather Safety rules apply (shelter for thunderstorms and other severe weather events)

Note:  Personal Fitness Merit Badge will be scheduled later in the summer
