Quotable:
One can hardly think too little of one's self. One can hardly think too much of one's soul. --G. K. Chesterton, from Orthodoxy (1908)

Coming up:
08/05-07 (Fri.6pm-Sun.12pm) - Troop JLT Campout. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT WEEKEND. All new leaders will be expected to attend this very special, and well-planned campout. Every minute of this weekend is designed by plan to instruct the boys about leadership, their roles in the troop, planning and expectations for their role. If your son is selected or elected into leadership then attendance at the Troop JLT Campout is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. This campout is very important for several reasons. First, it helps integrate your son into the new leadership. Second, it explains to your son his responsibility to his patrol or the troop. Third, it provides your son with direct access to his Patrol Advisor, and to the adult leadership of the troop. And, finally, it's a fun weekend where your son will learn more about the Scouting program in two days than he's learned to date. That's my personal guarantee.
So, the bottom line is this for parents. If you son is selected into leadership for the upcoming Fall term, I fully expect them to attend the JLT Campout August 5-7. I'll be there. The patrol advisors will be there. It's important to the success of the troop that your son be there, too.
