Congratulations to Julia, Annika, and Cedar for making Venture Rank!
Crew meetings are moving to SUNDAY nights 5:30-7:00 pm. They will be at Hope Lutheran or other designated location depending on what the crew is doing. Sunday, August 19th meeting will be Crew Officer Orientation. Uniform is Class A and bring you book and something to take notes and keep schedules in. Melita Island was great fun. Annika almost beat the mile swim record, and everyone got their Polar Bear patch. Some of the Leaders are officially SAFETY NAP certified, which was more work than you would think. We will get some pictures posted soon! The crew is starting to work on WILDERNESS SURVIVAL, in preparation for the 2-night survival event planned for October. There will be some preparation for attending the ACE program at MELITA Island Montana Council camp schedule August 5th-11th.
The meeting on March 8th the Scouts worked on a personal survival stove from altoids tins.

Wilderness Survival: Something in fall 2018. Next meeting: Advisor conferences and woodburning stoves. Notes by Julia At Meeting: Edward, Abby, Julia, Mr. Dougher, Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Cooker, Mrs. Eubanks. The main topics of the meeting were preparing for the Yellowstone trip and teambuilding by personality assessment. We had Abby and Julia present (Edward had a family emergency).
They made decisions abou the Yellowstone trip - see the ACTIVITIES page for more information about gear, food, etc. Two decisions were made about activities and calendaring: 1. They do want to go to Boiling River. 2. The regular crew meeting on October 15 will be cancelled. Any crew business will happen on the trip. Maryanne - our Popcorn Kernel - did the kick-off. Crew have 3 weeks to sell popcorn! Maryanne will contact anyone who was not there to get your packet. Remember, every crew members needs to sell $250 OR 6 hours per the bylaws. Plus, this is way to build confidence, fund your adventure, and help Scouting. It is strongly recommended you plan EARLY when you are going to sell, put it on your calendar, and get out there. On-line sales are a wonderful option to reach out of town family. If you have questions, contact Maryanne 406-451-9711 cookmund@msn.com IT was a good meeting! The only thing crew members said was a thorn was the absence of other members. Betsy Eubanks Everyone will meet at 9 am at the Fairgrounds for a recruiting event!
