Cooking MB at Camp Medicine Mountain

Posted on May 21 2018 - 12:17pm

Message:

I announced at last week's Camp Medicine Mountain meeting that Scouts planning on doing the camping portion of Cooking MB at Camp Medicine Mountain MUST email me to tell me that AND if they have any dietary restrictions. So far, only one Scout has done so. IF you do NOT do this, you will NOT be part of Cooking MB at Camp Medicine Mountain (even if you've talked to me one-on-one about this -- I cannot keep track of individula conversations and MUST have the email to do the required coordination!) Thank you for your kind cooperation. IF you email camps@troop840.org, you will automatically email me and CC Mrs. Ebert while obeying BSA's new YPT rules of not communicating with Adult Leaders one-on-one. Hint, hint ....

Note: SMs/ASMs who are already position-trained are "grandfathered in" but are encouraged to take this training anyway.
