Hello all, Just a quick reminder. We’re meeting tonight at the church. It’s the 1st meeting of the month class As (no sweat pants or athletic shorts please) and bring your handbooks.

Hello everyone, As of yesterday, the citizenship in society MB has been discontinued and no longer required for eagle rank. Benjamin Stepp

Hello all, Sunday at 2pm we will be crossing 5 scouts over from pack 4 to the troop. The ceremony will be at OU Methodist church. We would like all of our scouts who can join us should be there by 1:45 in full class A uniform. Green pants, belt, tan shirt, and blue neckerchief tied in a friendship knot. If your scout does not have a neckerchief we will have extras there and they can get theirs then.

Scout and Scouters,

We are very excited to welcome you to Ole Miss this Saturday for the Merit Badge College! Check-in will begin at 8am on the 1st floor of Bishop Hall.
If you have a scout participating in Climbing, please have their parent fill out the health history and waiver linked below. Select “Climbing wall” and enter “Chicksa District Boy Scouts” as the group name. This should be filled out no later than Thursday evening. uofmississippi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0385c1dAVwuSpVP
If you have a scout participating in Aviation, please print and fill sign the form found here: www.natcheztracecouncil.org/files/54810/Aviation-Merit-Badge-Waiver-Form
Unfortunately, scouts will not be able to participate in these badges without these forms filled out. We would hate for anyone to be disappointed!
If you have any questions, please contact Gary Wilson at garywilson1500@gmail.com or (901) 679-3110

Just a reminder, Tonight we have doctors present to help complete our BSA physicals. Please bring the forms filled out so the doctors can complete them. Bring a copy of their shot records and a copy of their insurance forms. Also we picked up camp cards last week. Camp cards are fundraising to help the boys pay for things like dues, and camp. These are discount cards with many different ways to save on them. These cards are sold for 10$ each and the scout will get 5$ credited to their account until the end of march, then they will get 4.75$ credited to their account. We will have these tonight for the boys to pick up. If you have any questions please let me know.

There will be no meeting on Monday February 9th. February 16th is physicals. Please have the physical form filled out with all pertinent information and bring the scouts shot records and a copy of their insurance card with them. This will not be a meeting as soon as they are done with their physical they are done. Their is no cost.

No meeting tonight.

Please pay for the ski trip with Venmo if you have not already done so. Cost is 200$.
