As the young men prepare for camp this year the Bishopric and YM Presidency have a few reminders.
1. Each young man is asked to pay $150.00 toward the Young Men's Program. In keeping within the guidelines as published by the church pertaining to the financing of the Young Men's program, this money is to fund a one time camp for the year 2010. This is for scout camp for the Deacons and High Adventure for the Teachers & Priests. If you have paid the $55.00 fee for the upcoming trek, then the $150.00 can be reduced to $95.00. The coffers of the YM budget are low when it comes to supporting our young men in attending camp. Please pay ASAP. Although most parents pay this money, we ask that each young man is directed by the spirit and seek out opportunities to earn this money. Please feel free to contact the YM leadership for ideas or suggestions on earning this money.
2. If you are interested in having flags in your yard for the holidays, the money for the upcoming year is due now. The first holiday for flags is Memorial Day. This will be followed by many other flag days for the next year. To sign up, a donation to the scouting program of at least $30.00 is requested. This money will go specifically toward the payment of Scout Camp. Scout Camp is extremely expensive and this will only curb the costs incurred by the YM Program.
3. Each young man will be required to have an up to date physical in order to participate in our camping activities. These physicals are required every year. If they have an existing physical with a date that does not exceed the date of the activity, that physical may be submitted to their quorum leaders. If the physical is greater than one year old at the time of the activity then a new physical will be required. Please print off the form which is linked to this blog page under Church & Scouting Forms and follow the instructions. Please note the Teacher and Priest age young men will need all sections of the physical form completed in order to participate in High Adventure. Trek physicals will be accepted for High Adventure but must be attached to the required Scouting Physical Paperwork and submitted.
4. The merit badge classes for Aspen Ridge are quickly filling up. Please call ASAP to Jason VanAusdal to specify your intent to attend scout camp, your first 4 merit badge class requests, and two alternate merit badge requests.
