June will be Patrol Campouts. Each Patrol will plan its own campout, so talk to your Patrol Leader and Patrol Adviser to find out the plan.

The location of this years summer camp is Camp Alexander in Colorado from July 9 to July 15. The cost will be $330 NOT including transportation, Merit Badges, and a few other expenses.

Here are useful documents to help prepare for summer camp:

• Basic campout packing list.

• Mosquito netting information. (See the Mosquito Netting Workshop.)

When: April 1, 2017 (No joke)

Where: UT Dallas Campus

Time: 8 am to 5 pm

Cost: $15 per Scout; bring $5 for lunch

From time to time an opportunity comes up for our Scouts to take advantage of a “Merit Badge College” – or a series of classes covering multiple MBs all at one location in a short period of time.

The Alpha Phi Omega Scouting Service fraternity is offering just such an opportunity at UT Dallas on April 1st (no joke) this year.

The Circle 10 council, Golden Arrow District and Troop 1000 have approved and endorsed this college.  While all requirements may not be able to be passed while attending for the required time, T1000 MB counselors will help Scouts complete any requirements not covered or signed off in the classes.

Scouts should discuss the MBs they are interested in signing up for with their Patrol Advisor and obtain Blue Cards from them.  Scouts should be prepared to review what they have learned with Troop counselors.

There is a long list of many MBs, a lot of them Eagle required, that Scouts interested can sign up for – space permitting (sign up soon).

Here is where you will need to register:
