BSA Troop 390 - Fairlawn, Ohio

The last couple of hikes were sparsely attended - remember that High Knoll participants are supposed to attend at least 50% of the warm-up hikes.

This Wednesday, June 24, we will hike at Hampton Hills at 6:30 p.m. Scouts should be carrying at least 35-40 lbs. Please let Mr. Orchosky know if you will be attending.

This coming Saturday, June 27, none of the adult leaders are available to hike on Saturday morning. Instead, Mr. Orchosky will be hiking Saturday evening at 6:30 at O'Neil Woods. This an optional hike, but anyone who needs to push up their warm-up hike attendance should try to be there. Please let Mr. Orchosky know if you will be attending.

Any questions, can email Mr. Orchosky at porchosky@mgo-inc.com or call his cell 330-612-7513.

Troop Summer Camp at Camp Manatoc is July 19-25 - The scouts are now in the process of choosing the merit badges they wish to take during summer camp.

Because of the new format for first-year emphasis, now called T-2-1, first-year scouts will have more opportunities to earn merit badges. All proposed merit badges must be approved by Mr. Horvath.

We go to camp 1 p.m., Sunday, July 19, and return home 10 a.m. Saturday, July 25. The cost is $220 until July 2 and then $230. Remember, Scouts can use the money in their Troop Scout Account for payment of dues and camping fees.

Physicals - At the Tuesday Troop meeting on May 19, Mr. Horvath handed out an envelope for each Scout that tells parents what Medical Records must be provided for High Knoll or Summer Camp. The envelopes can only be distributed to a parent. If a parent did not attend the Troop meeting, Mr. H will mail the envelope. Please read and call Mr. Horvath if you have any questions. Different information is required of each Scouts attending High Knoll, some Summer Camp Scouts and from new Scouts. Click here for a link to the physicial form.

Troop 390 has a group page on Facebook - Scouts and parents with a Facebook account, please join the Troop 390 Fairlawn Facebook page. It's another way to obtain Troop informaiton, pictures and videos. Help spread the word. Link to Troop 390's Facebook page .

High Adventure Shakedowns - There are two shakedowns being scheduled per week on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Details will be made available at the troop meetings and will be posted here as soon as possible.

Keep up with your High Adventure Payments - Payments for High Knoll are due as follows: Each person should be at $300 paid by May, $100 more in June and $50 by July 1, for a total of $450 before we leave on the Trek. The 15 passenger van we rent for this trek has increased in price substantially. We may have to increase the fee $15 to cover the cost.
