WED, 30 MAY: Court of Honor.  6:30-8:00 PM.  144 Thayer Hall (History Department Auditorium).  Set-up begins at 6:00.  Patrol Leaders have decided who is bringing snacks, drinks, and ice (NOTE: NO food and drinks are allowed in Thayer 144!  They have to stay out in the hallway.)  Wear your full Class A uniform and be recognized for all your hard work and achievements so far this year!  We will also have a guest speaker from Hudson Valley Council to tell us about the “Friends of Scouting” program.  “Friends of Scouting” solicits monetary contributions from the families who have Scouts to help fund the Council.  Participation is strictly voluntary, and the Hudson Valley Council has set a suggested giving goal at $20 per Scout, with recognition patches for that amount and an additional one for contributions above that.  More details will be given at tonight’s meeting.
