Bell Buckle Craft Fair
We will need a lot of help for this fund raiser on October 15 & 16. We will be manning a cooking booth as well as parking cars for Webb School. Any money we make will go toward next summer’s high adventure canoeing trip to Canada. All crew members are expected to participate. A sign up sheet is posted.

October Campout Latimer High Adventure Base (This Weekend)
Thanks to Fall Break, we will be departing at several different times. It’s a 2 – 3 hour drive so car-pooling would be a good idea. Adults who want to car pool should make their own arrangements. Breakfast will be at 7:00 AM on Sat. Opening ceremony will be at 9:00 am. Bring a change of clothes – there’s a good chance you’ll get wet during the canoe races. Bring a canteen. Bring your handbook if you plan to pass anything off this weekend. Chapel will be at 8:30 on Sun. We plan to return to Murfreesboro by 1:30 PM on Sunday. Be advised, cell phone reception is very poor or non-existent at the camp.
I need to hear from Kyle Ceder and Mitchell Jacobs and anyone else going on the camp out who is not mentioned below – let me know when you want to go up so I can link you up with a driver.

Food
Mr. Harden will buy food for all adults. Jared Dix, Reed Spivey and Webelos guests will eat with the adults. Mr. Harden will have hot dogs, buns and fixings for a late snack when we get set up.
Everyone should bring a cup, fork and spoon. Patrols have been set up for cooking. Patrol Leaders are responsible for setting up patrol duty rosters. The Scout designated as Food Buyer will buy enough food for his patrol. Save your receipts and turn them in to Mr. Holtman. He will reimburse you and then he will charge the patrol members’ scout accounts for an equal share of the food.
