Fw: Troop 42 4/30 meeting

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Holly Duboc will bring both Td and Tdap to the Monday meeting (April 30) for those in our troop who missed out . If there are any adolescents who still need the booster, please bring your shot record and an adult to sign the paperwork.  As I recall,there were a few adults who missed out so this is the last chance.

This opportunity is only for Troop 42!!

  

 

- Tonight is also a fun activity night at the church (Kick Ball).

 

- If you left a hooded sweatshirt at the pancake breakfast make sure you come tonight and claim it.

 

See you tonight!

Troop 42 Pancake Breakfast reminders

Hi,

 

I'm the den leader for Pack 42 Bear cubs and I'm wondering if you know of any of the leaders in the Troop who were cub scouts years ago? I need to find someone to talk to the boys about cub scouting in the past. Any help you can give would be appreciated!

 

Thanks,

At tonight's meeting we will be distributing bags for Scouting for Food.  We have approximately 800 bags to distribute and need your help.  Not only do we need Scout participation but we need 8 - 10 drivers (more would make the job go faster).  We will also need help this Saturday, April 14th to collect the food.

 

Your participation is appreciated.

 

Also, if you have not made your final Scout Camp payment or the next Philmont payment please see Mr. Walker TONIGHT.  Both of those payments were due last week.  We need the camp days for part-time adults as well.

Court:’2010’Jamboree’can’go’forward

FROM THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA TODAY:

Boy Scouts of America is pleased that the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit dismissed the ACLU’s lawsuit against the Department of Defense for supporting the National Scout Jamboree.

For more than 25 years, Boy Scouts have held the National Scout Jamboree every four years at Fort A.P. Hill near Fredericksburg, Virginia. Scouts from all over the country camp together for ten days and participate in activities emphasizing physical fitness, appreciation of the outdoors, and patriotism. Seven Presidents have attended the Jamboree since President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937. The Jamboree grounds at Fort A.P. Hill are open to the public, and an estimated 300,000 visitors attended in 2005 along with 43,000 Scouts and their leaders. The 2010 Jamboree will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Boy Scouts of America.

Nevertheless, the ACLU sued the Department of Defense in 1999 over its support for the Jamboree. In 2005, a federal district court in Chicago concluded the Jamboree statute (10 U.S.C. § 2554) was unconstitutional under the Establishment Clause because Scouting has a nonsectarian “duty to God” requirement. DoD appealed the district court’s injunction against military support under that statute for the 2010 Jamboree.

In today’s ruling, the federal Court of Appeals in Chicago reversed the district court’s decision, concluding that the taxpayers named as the plaintiffs in the lawsuit did not have standing to sue DoD in the first place.

REACTION FROM FOCUS ON THE FAMILY:
Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said the 7th Circuit correctly rejected the notion that any taxpayer with a generalized grievance over the federal government’s support of Scouting can use the federal courts as a personal veto tool.

“This national obsession by atheists, secularists and homosexual activists with the Boy Scouts over the years has been disgraceful,” he said, “in light of the contributions that organization has made to our national life since its inception here in 1910.”
