[leaders] Incentives

Hi everyone,
A few of you have been asking about the incentives.  I was told by council they should be arriving the first week in June, but since that is subject to change I had not said anything.  As soon as they arrive I will send out an email giving notice before the pick-up date.  Of course if the pick-up date does not work for some of you we can make other arrangements to get them to you. 
 
Thank you for your patience, they have been thanking me for mine...  :)

[leaders] Bridging Info


Hello,

 

Below is some information on the Bridging Ceremony this Thursday at Rockford Freshman Center.

 

Several leaders have asked me how their girls should dress.  I told my troop in the past to dress nicely and be sure to wear their vest or sash. I know that's general, but hopefully it helps some.

 

Leaders should arrive between 6:00 and 6:15.

Scouts should arrive no later than 6:15

 

Scouts will be grouped together with their troop and leader. Parents/family/ special others will be asked to wait outside the auditorium. This will enable the Troop leader to gather and focus the scouts together.

 

There will be a flag ceremony.  Please let me know if you have scout who wishes to assist.  This will not guarantee a role; but first come first serve.

 

The bridging ceremony will be done by level and then Troop number.  Leaders will be asked to announce their girls as they walk across the stage. 

 

We will be giving the girls a Bridging Certificate.  PLEASE do not give your scout flowers/gifts etc for this event as other Troops can not afford this and it obviously causes heartfelt issues.  If your Troop decides to bridge with a sash/vest/patch to the next level, that is fine.  Remember, keep it simple.

 

Following the Award acknowledgment, the flags will be dismissed.

 

Finally, there will be opportunities for pictures, following the ceremony.  There will be cake and juice.  I am asking that the Scouts be served first; before others.

 

Also, some troops have girls that will not be able to attend.  If you know you have girls that can't attend, please let me know their names, IF you would like a certificate for them.  I can also add them in the program if you'd like.  However, I need their information by Tuesday, 7:30pm.

 

I do need assistance with:

Various levels of scouts for the flag ceremony

 

If there are any Scouts who are not bridging BUT wish to assist; please let me know.

 

Thank you,

Andrea Desenclos

I am not sure if my first message went through, so I apologize if you receive this twice!
 
Just a reminder, there will be a Leader Banquet on Monday, May 10, from 6-8 pm in the Rockford United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall.  It will be a potluck supper, so bring a dish to pass and your own table service. 
We will also have a presentation about Cast Off the Cold, started in 2007 by Rockford High School Senior Ashley Gremel.  She knits scarves for peopl in need.
