			Thank you to Trish and Becky for offering this
			activity to the scouts.  Some scouts need to
			finish up some items.

	14 May		Parent's meeting at 7:00PM
			At the New Morning Bakery at 219 SW 2nd St. All
			parents of Scouts in Troop 163 are invited and
			encouraged to attend. We will be planning many
			of the activities for the summer and taking care
			of logistics. We need some help to make sure that
			these activities come off well and are good
			experiences for our sons.

	17-19 May	Camporee
			We need to get a count of the people who will be
			going to the camporee.  There is a $7.50 fee
			per scout fee for this event.

	13 June		Flag Day
			The Elk's allows us to use their rifle range each
			year.  In exchange, we help with a flag ceremony
			for Flag Day.  This year we are looking for four
			scouts to help out on the 13th from about 6:30 to
			7:40 (and you get food), and two scouts to help
			out on the 15th to retire the flag that flies in
			front of their building at about 5:30.

	7 July		Summer Camp
			We will need the remainder of the camp fee ($55)
			this week.  I will have medical forms for people
			to get filled out.  If other people want to go,
			please contact the scout master.

Camporee preparations.  We have new scouts; let's make sure that they
know what to bring to have a fun outing.  This involves some basic
scout skills, camping, what to expect, etc.

Some people have freeze dried food from Oregon Freeze Dry.  Please bring
any that you can spare.  Other scouts, please bring a little money to
buy what is needed out of the stock.

If people want, we can probably make another purchase from Oregon Freeze Dry.
