If you have any questions about specific activities, please contact Scoutmaster, Mr. Ferguson.
Finally, please remember that our Scout Law reminds us that “A Scout is Clean” … so, please remember to do your part as a Scout, including (from our Council):
Stay home when you feel sick.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, and wash your hands before and after doing so.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve/elbow, not your hands.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Do not share personal items such as cups, water bottles, eating utensils, etc.
Avoid shaking hands.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
In July, Ian and his dad traveled to Eugene Oregon for two nights of camping. Ian practiced scout skills with camping, hiking, navigation and cooking. Good job, Ian!
