Summer Camp is just 25 days from now! Medical forms are needed for each scout and adult that is attending summer camp. Parts A & B are to be filled out by the parents, but Part C must be signed by a doctor’s office and be completed every year.

Scouts,
This is Derek Ratzlaff. I will be having an Eagle Workday this Saturday. My Eagle Project is the construction of an outdoor classroom for Northwestern Middle School. We will be making 8 wooden benches on Saturday. I need your help, so please come out.  Here are the details.

We will have our annual pre summer camp parents meeting on Monday May 21 beginning at around 7:30 in the teen meeting room - Second floor - at the Presbyterian Church.

We will be completing requirement 3b of the Aviation Merit Badge during the Scout meeting on May 7th.

This is the one requirement that is not covered by the class at Warner Robins.

This Appalachian Trail hike has been changed to another option. The Adventure continues on a portion of section three of the Appalachian Trail. Visit Stover Creek falls and ancient writings on the rocks. Saturdays hike varies based on age and experience of scouts. Be sure to bring a fanny pack or very small day pack to carry lunch, water and some snacks for part of Saturday before backpacks are needed. Mr Bowden will possible ferry the packs for younger scouts for a portion of your hike. Sunday is an easy 3.8 miles to Three Forks. We should arrive at three forks by 12 noon and be home by 2:00 to 2:30 pm.

Dear Troopers

What a great weekend for Scouting!

For more than 60 years Troop 87 has been the starting point for many a Scout adventure and this year is no different. This weekend eight of our newest Scouts gathered for a New Scout Orientation campout at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. They named their patrol, elected their leader; fulfilled most (if not all) of their Scout requirements and (I believe) had a great time doing so. Here are the highlights:
