Fwd: Water Sports Merit Badge24 RSVP Needed
I hope this email finds you well. Please see below Mr. Nathan’s email below regarding watersports day. I hope everyone can attend.
Troop 45 Scouts and Parents,
Could you please have your scout prepared at tonight’s meeting (8-24) to share if they plan to attend the Troop 45 Water Ski day at Sardis Lower Lake on *Saturday, August 24th*? Below are the key details:
– We will start the Water Sports badge at *~8:30 am* on Saturday, August 24th at Sardis Lower Lake and finish the day at *~5:30pm*. Details of the exact pick up and drop-off locations will be sent in a separate email. – We will have two water ski boats available that will host ~4 to 6 scouts at a time with 2 leaders per boat. The remaining scouts will be on shore between sessions with 2 additional leaders. – I (Nathan Crouch) will be leading one boat with a leader and Chuck Crouch (Previous Troop 45 Scoutmaster) will be leading th 2nd boat with a 2nd leader. – The goal of the day is to teach the Scouts proper water ski/sports saftey protocols as well as key skills associated with adjusting their skis, starting up, crossing the wake, and properly falling with skis. – If they can achieve these milestones, they will earn their Water Sports badge by the end of the day. – For the Scouts to participate, they will need to have passed their Swimmers certification test OR be able to pass it on site under the approval of a Troop 45 leader. – In order for us to properly plan and support the day, we will need an RSVP for the total number at tonight’s meeting. – If you or your scout is NOT attending tonight’s meeting, please let me know if you plan to attend the Water Ski day.
Our goal is to create a fun day where Scouts will have the opportunity to learn a new skill that can help to build their confidence and excitement around participating in Water Ski related sports.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello all,
I hope this email finds you well. We have 2 Court of Honors coming up. The first is for the troop on Monday August 26, 2024 at 7PM. To have things awarded at this COH scouts will need to have their stuff completed by Monday August 19, 2024.
The second Court of Honor will be an Eagle Court of Honor on September 1st 2024 at 5pm. This will be for 3 of our scouts who have recently earned their Eagle Rank and gotten their certificates back from Nationals.
Full Class A uniform is the uniform for both events.
Thanks
