Scouts BSA Troop 108, Fort Mill, SC
Mrs. Ludolph will be leading the eagle-required Family Life Merit Badge beginning at 7pm on Monday, April 11th, 2016. This is for scouts who are First Class rank and above.
Come prepared with something to write on and something to write with. The requirements for the merit badge can be found by Clicking Here and the workbook for the merit badge can be found by Clicking Here.
Scoutmaster Ludolph advises that “You can start picking up your sons at 9:00 tomorrow morning at the same location that you dropped them off at on Friday” Contact SM Ludolph if you have any questions.
Coming up on April 1st through the 3rd at the Winthrop Athletic Complex in Rock Hill is the annual council camporee event. This event will have scouts from all over the 6 counties of Palmetto Council together in one location for a fun-filled event where there will be merit badge classes and other fun activities. The weekend will be a busy one, so the scouts have been relieved of cooking duty too – the food is provided and has been included in the cost of the event – $25.00.
Scouts should plan on dropping by the troops meeting location next Monday night, March 14th, from 7pm until 8pm during the Patrol Members Council night to submit their desired merit badge selections and pay for the event. Mr. Whitesell will be available to get you signed up at that drop-off night. There are two blocks for merit badge classes during the day (see below) select one badge from each of the two blocks. There are also some merit badges that will be taught on Saturday night as well that can be selected in addition to the two daytime merit badge blocks. There are also three more detailed merit badges that will take longer to work on and will require both Blocks 1 & 2 and are listed below as “All Morning” classes.
Scouts should select one merit badge from Block 1, one merit badge from Block 2 (or one merit badge from the “all morning” group) and one merit badge from the Twilight merit badge offerings (if they don’t already have them) and bring those (written down with their name on it) along with payment of $25 to the March 14th PLC meeting between 7pm and 8pm to give to Mr. Whitesell.

We’re excited about the offerings on the 2016 Camp Cards that will soon be available for scouts to check out to sell. Click on the image of the card to see a larger image. Cards sell for $10 each and the scout keeps a full $5 from each card sold.
This is a great way to earn money to be used for the upcoming Philmont Trek or Summer Camp.
Cards will be made available for check out on Monday, March 14th during the PLC night and the remaining cards/money must be returned to the troop no later than then April 11th.
Have Questions? Check with ASM John Bisel who is heading up the Camp Card efforts.

The 2016 new member campout is a great time to welcome our troop’s newest members and to get to know them better and help them feel like a part of our group. We will be camping in the established campsites near the Rush Pavilion on the ASC Greenway (come in the entrance off of Hwy 21 Bypass opposite Colthorpe Road).
Scouts can be dropped off with their gear begining at 5pm on Friday, March 11th picked up no later than 5pm on March 12th, 2016. Both the drop off and pick up locations are the same – The Rush Pavilion on the ASC Greenway.
ASM Tracy Ross will be working with those scouts who are taking the backpacking merit badge on Saturday during the campout. They will learn to pack a pack, cook some on-the-trail type meals and wrap up the day with a hike that will get them back to the pavilion in time to be picked up by their parents.
Cost is $10 (a small paypal fee will be added if you pay online making your total $10.61)
Come and get to know our new Scouts!!!!
