[Bsa-troop85] Neosho Merit Badge Fair on Saturday, February 1

[Lindsey Family]

All,

As discussed at the last few Monday meetings, the Neosho District merit badge fair is next Saturday, February 1.  Hopefully your Scouts have mentioned it, so if they are interested in going, please register at okscouts.org under the Neosho District.  You can also find a link through the council calendar on the site.

Please let me know if you are registered so we will have enough adults and transportation for everyone.  So far I only know of Ryan Lindsey, Zac Lewallen, and Charlie Chaffin planning to attend.  Adults going include me, Kathy Lewallen and Tammy Chaffin (traveling separately).

We will leave from the regular St James Church parking lot at 6:20 a.m. Saturday morning - don't be late since we have a lot of ground to cover.

The Scouts should read the merit badge books before in order to be prepared for the classes.  You can try to borrow the books from the Troop library (books may be old) or you can purchase your own from the Scout Shop (43rd and Garnett).  Please be aware that some merit badges won't be completed at the fair - they will need to be completed by you at a later date.

When you register, they will ask you to select a couple of alternate classes as well.  Therefore, we won't know exactly what classes the Scouts are in until we get there for final registation which starts at 7:45 Saturday morning.  That's why we need to be there early.  A lot of people will be trying to change or add classes that morning and it will be rather chaotic.

We should return to the Church parking lot by 6:15 Saturday evening and we will call parents on the way home to make sure they are waiting to pick up their Scouts.  We will have been with the Scouts all day, so we would appreciate all parents making a timely pickup of their Scouts.

Thanks

Yours in Scouting

Jason Lindsey
