We are all looking forward to the Troop 45 Small Boat Sailing Day at Sardis Lake tomorrow. Here are a few final details to consider as your Scout prepares for the day:

Activity:

Jim runs a summer camp for sailing and has graciously volunteered to lead a condensed 1-day version of his small boat program for the Troop 45 Scouts. You can see a nice video of what this will be like at the website above.

Meeting Location:

Just a reminder we will be meeting at Blackjack at Sardis lake. This is at rafters on the water. Wear swimming trunks and bring a water bottle.

If you have not let us know about your scout being there Saturday or not, please let us know by this evening if they can make it saturday morning. I know there are cross country and other sports saturday so if you want to bring them out after they are done that would be great as well, just let us know please,
