We will not be having any meetings the week of summer camp; June 28. In addition, we will have a Lighter schedule through July and August. Following are the dates for meetings we will be having:
July 14 and 28
Aug. 11 and 25
We will resume our regular schedule in September.
We will be holding our annual Parent Meeting on Wednesday Evening, May 26 during the regular scout meeting in the Scout Hall.
The Parent Meeting will start promptly at 7:15 p.m. after the scouts have had a chance to get organized for their evening’s activities.
This is a mandatory meeting and we ask that at least one parent for each scout be present at the meeting.
The meeting should last no more than 45 minutes and be an opportunity for you to get updates on leadership changes in the troop, activities coming for summer including summer camp and learn about the help we will need from you for the coming year.
For new scout parents we will also be discussing advancements and troop processes that will help you support your son in the troop.
Memorial Day is a day of service for Troop 11. We support the American Legion every year and we will need boys to help as usual this year. If you are in town, please make sure you sign-up for one or all three of these events. Following is our schedule:
Sunday:
Monday:
The troop is in the process of going through Troop Elections. I have decided to make one small change to this round of elections. We will be extending the elections period. Over the next few weeks please work with your boys for positions of responsibility that they may be taking on. On May 26, we will hold elections and announce our new positions on June 2 at our Court of Honor. All boys after 1st class are required to hold a position of responsibility for six months in order to advance to the next rank. Please help support your young men and encourage them to get involved in troop leadership.
Next Saturday, May 15 we will be doing a great day hike of ten miles. We will be going from Salmon Falls to Peninsula on Folsom Lake. We will need drivers to-and-fro for this event as it is a one-way hike. We will also be covering Map and Compass skills too. This is a requirement for 2nd class rank advancement.

Hello Troop11 Families,
Summer Camp, believe it or not is 60 days away. This is the time to start your planning with your sons. I have attached a planning quick guide for camp that I extrapolated from the Scoutmasters guide to camp. This is the 2010 edition and should be used as the Royaneh website still only has last years. This should be reviewed and discussed and have your scouts plan their time at camp. If you are requiring to leave camp early, please ensure that you use and deliver the form to me too.
There are all kinds of activities and programs along with Merit Badges they can do while at camp. I would encourage you to have your boys talk with older scouts that have been to simmer camp before and help them with the selection of merit badges and activities. Make sure you understand the costs associated with some of the activities and merit badges to and send a little extra so they can buy stuff at the trading post.
I am working with Camp Royaneh to get a 2010 Parents Guide, but don’t have that for you right now, once I do, I will notify you.
YIS,
Mr. Junnila
