June
27, Plan for Brecksville "Fair on the Square" weekend.
This is our 2nd biggest fund raiser. We sell ice-cold pop and
water from wagons and from a booth for the 4th of July weekend
festival in the square.
We'll plan wagons, coolers, supplies,
ice, staffing schedules, etc.
All are expected to participate because
this is a major troop and community function!
Weather forecast is for no rain but HOT
with VERY HOT on Sunday. Expect large sales volumes.
We sell at a very low price but serve a great many people.
Everybody wins! The kiddies and families are served and we add
a bit to the treasury so that we don't have to do extra fund
raisers.
Make your weekend plans but include some
hours on at least 2 days to raise funds for troop activities and
equipment. |

Permission Slip & Details
We need scouts to help park cars for the Hale farm Harvest
Festival. Transportation will be the responsibility of each individual
scout family. The troop will provide a roast for supper Saturday
evening, each scout should bring a side dish for that meal, (salad,
beans, potatoes etc) as well any snacks they will need. The troop will
also provide breakfast Sunday morning. We will coordinate the side
dish menus when these slips are turned in. Usually Hale Farm provides
food during the day for the volunteers and there is food for sale
there also. |

Mayor's Fine
Arts Festival and Taste-of-Brecksville September
30 -
The Mayor's Fine Arts
Festival and "Taste of Brecksville" is the 29th and
30th. We have the beverage concession.
This will be similar to
the "Home Days" effort where we sold pop and water to the
people. On Sunday, there will be about 400 tickets sold to the
"Taste of Brecksville" but no beverage vendors.
This should be a good
fund raiser for us to help pay for the new tents and build up your
"Scout Account" balances for the campouts coming up.
It's also the weekend of
the Grizzly Bear campout - we'll take names at the next few meetings
to see if we can staff it adequately. |

April 27-29, Camp & Hike at Camp Butler
in Peninsula.
Great weather, great campsite. What else could you ask for? How
about a good MAP ???
The 13 mile hike on the Marnoc Order of the Arrow (OA) Lodge
"Cuyahoga Valley Trail" turned out to be a bit longer than
that. Revised estimates started out around 15 miles just after the
hike but I by Sunday morning the consensus was more like 18 miles.
The leaders brought all the scouts back except one who came back in
a car with his dad. No major blisters, no major incidents, lots of
great stories - including the one about the dear skeleton.
A world-record number of cars and trucks responded to the scout’s
urging for horn blasts as the hike went along Rt. 303: 51 cars and
trucks, and 1 ranger siren blast will be hard to beat. |
