This class will be taught by Dave Leonard and John Payne from the Alamance County Fire Marshall's Office and will be fun and educational for your Scouts! Dave and John have many hands-on activities planned to keep their interest as well as really cool visuals to teach the boys everything necessary to earn this badge. As you see from the schedule, classroom instruction will end at 12:30 and after a brief lunch (Scouts must bring their own), the boys will adjourn and then meet back at a nearby fire station to view fire equipment and apparatus. It is the parent or Scout's responsibility to get transportation from ACC to the fire station (location will be announced as soon as it's confirmed). Please pass this information along to parents and scouts! Please do NOT register your whole troop, as this class is limited to the first 25 boys who register. Dave and John are very willing to arrange Troop programs - even eager to teach this information to everyone they can reach! Register at threescoutsmama@xxxxxxxxxx Have Scouts provide a contact number and Troop #. We will activate a waiting list and may schedule more classes if the need is there. Please have Scouts bring: A bagged lunch with drink A blue card signed by Troop Leader Merit Badge Workbook (available at myscouting.org) If you do not already have a Parent Coordinator in place, this would be a GREAT time to involve a parent to forward e-mails of interest from your Troop to other parents and leaders. Speaking from experience, this has been a huge help from Troop 39 to help me coordinate my boys' activities, plan our family calendar, and make sure we have all necessary equipment/supplies/money for Troop trips. PLEASE think about adding this position to your Troop leadership! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone (447-4548).
