Summer campers - get outfitted in Makajawan gear ahead of camp.  Check out this online store.  Hoodies and dry-wick shirts at great prices.  Use the FREE personalization option to add "Troop 71" to your gear.

All:  With the new camping season upon us, we need your refreshed annual medical forms.  Everyone needs to submit BSA Parts A &B.  Please complete the form and bring to an upcoming troop meeting.  The form can be found HERE.

Scouts - check out this cool video about Makajawan.  It's not too late to register.  Please reach out to Mr Audette if you're interested in going to camp with the troop June 23-29.

Reminder:  we have a passive Fundraiser Troop 71 Scout families.  Earn 2%-16% rebates through RaiseRight simply by buying gift cards to use for everyday purchases, instead of cash or credit cards.  50% of your family’s rebate will be deposited monthly in your Scout account, and 50% will go to the Troop to cover general expenses.  Participation in this fundraiser is expected to help reduce Troop dues and other related costs for activities (including Makajawan, NYLT, and possibly other High Adventure opportunities).

Our April campout is at Van Patten Woods in nearby Wadsworth.  On Saturday, we'll bike up and down the Des Plaines River Trail, stopping for a picnic lunch halfway.

Yours in Scouting,

 

Tony Giamis
