We have made reservation for 10 youth to participate in this free event. Please respond to this email if you would like to be one of the 10. 

We'll get another chance to fly on June 18. At that time scouts will take free flights in the small engine aircraft owned by members of Young Eagles. The volunteer pilots take between two and four scouts in each plane for flights around the city. The flights are an amazing experience -- being in the cockpit with the pilot can be exhilarating.
 
The experience at the Timmerman Field.

• Wear your Class A uniform

• Cost:  Free!

• All return to scout house by around noon. 

Snacks:  Bring your own snacks and beverage.

To finish Aviation Merit Badge scouts need to complete requirements 2a. "Take a flight in an aircraft" and 2b. "Perform a pre-flight inspection."
 
This will NOT be an official Troop 61 event, but rather it will be held as a private family outing. Troop leaders will be at the airport on the day of the event to help chaperone, but the EAA will be in charge of the event.

Summer Camp Time!
All scouts are encouraged to attend Summer Camp, always the highlight of our scouting year, and our annual opportunity for fun and advancement in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
 
Camp is held at the DNR Jag Lake Group Campground near Boulder Junction, Wisconsin.  This is a great opportunity to experience scouting's finest. Dads and moms are welcome and encouraged to attend - even if it's only for a weekend.
 
Health Form
All scouts and adults are required to complete an annual health form. Health forms will be available next week, and must be completed by licensed health care provider.

• The Form is available at the scout house or at this link:  Health Forms Parts A, B, C  (Link has been corrected)

• Parts A, B & C are all we need.  Parts A & B are completed by parent.  Part C is complete by health professional. The health professional can be a doctor, physician’s assistant, or nurse practitioner.

• The health form is good for one year and must be redone every year per national BSA policy. 

Note: We are contacting a local PA and Troop leader to see if he will once again offer free Scout physicals at the Scout House. If so, we will let you know the dates when they will be offered.

Guidelines for any in-person meeting at the Scout House.

 

If you are meeting in person for a special reason at the scout house along with observing 2 deep leadership you must also...wear masks at the meeting and social distancing must be observed.
 

We will keep air circulating in all rooms using the heaters. Doors and windows will be opened to provide additional ventilation.

​

We are limited to 20 people inside. In the event that more than 20 people show up we will ask adults who wish to hold discussions to gather outside. Priority for indoor space will be given to scouts and adults who are actively engaged with scouts. 

​

Parents and all adult leaders must complete and sign this Covid-19 release and checklist before coming to meetings. It's straightforward and simple. Print it out and take one minute to complete and sign.

​

We will plan for activities, advancement, and board of reviews to be done outside where possible.
