OCTOBER LEADER MEETING NOTES

Hey Troop 720,
I thought we should share some information from the Contingent Leader Meeting.
Here is the latest and greatest news on UNIFORMS:
First, wear what you have. If you have old uniforms wear them completely (with the New Boy Scout Green tabs). If you have the New Centennial Uniform, wear it completely.
DO NOT MIX and MATCH. Old pants can not be worn with New shirts etc.
The Jamboree committee is requiring that every Scout have 2 Complete sets of uniforms. I would suggest 3 complete sets. But 2 is the minimum.
THINGS NOT TO WORRY ABOUT AT THIS TIME.. in other words.. don't spend money on the following items:
Hats, it is still yet to be determined which hat we are going to wear.
Jackets, we will be wearing the "Official BSA Wind breaker style" jacket. It is currently red, but it is supposed to be changing to Green. We are waiting to see which one we will be wearing... so just wait on this.

It was suggested, and I think it is a fantastic idea, that if you or family members were or are planning on buying uniform items as Christmas gifts etc... to get Scout Shop gift cards instead. That way, when we do get the final word.. you can purchase the right stuff.

MEDICAL FORMS and NATIONAL REGISTRATION.
You all are doing a great job of getting this done. There are still a handful of youth that are not registered with National. Please get this completed in the next week or so. Your medical form is generated from this registration.
ONCE you get the Medical form, please get the physical completed. The physicals all need to be turned in No later than FEBRUARY 1st to the Scoutmaster. I have got to get them into Council in February and they need to be checked.

ALL CONTINGENT MEETING
Don't forget, we have the mandatory All contingent meeting on November 7th. We ask that every one check in at 9:00 AM. Look for our Troop and check in there. One of the Troop leaders from 720 will be there to check you in. So just look for us. We will all be sitting together and will be together all day.
Be sure to be in your FULL Scout uniform on the 7th. Bring your lunch too.

PATCHES
We got to see all the patches tonight at the meeting. They look fantastic!!! You all will be getting an order form at the All Contingent meeting!

FUNDRAISING ALL NIGHT GAME PARTY
November 20th there will be an all night "lock in" fundraiser. I will give more information about this at the All contingent meeting.

I am soooooo pumped up to go to Jamboree!!! I am glad to have all of you in our Troop and promise you the best time you have ever had in Scouting!!!


Have a Great Scouting Day!
Mr. Schleining
Scoutmaster
