District Merit Badge College 4/17/10

Pioneer Trails District will host a Merit Badge College on 4/17/10, right here in Parker.  Registration is  open.  Many of you have asked me about First Aid or Emergency Preparedness classes.  Well, here they are!  Sign up ASAP to ensure you get the classes you want.  Click here to go to the website:  http://denverboyscouts.doubleknot.com/openrosters/DocDownload.aspx?orgkey=1775&id=75453

Please Return Merit Badge Books

Please look through your bookcase, under your bed, behind the hamper, in your backpacks etcetera, etcetera… and find all the merit badge books you have borrowed from the troop.  Keep them if you are still working on the badge but return them if you are not using them anymore.  There are other scouts who need to use these books too.  New books cost $5 each now, so I would hate to waste the money buying new books if the books we already own are just laying forgotten somewhere.  Remember, a Scout is Thrifty!
