Have you been thinking about attending Winter Camp? Registration is still open! Go here to RSVP and read details, including on cost ($200/Scout; $80/adult with a discount for those teaching merit badge classes) and how to pay. Registration for Merit Badge classes has not yet opened. Questions? Contact Mr. Barnett or Mr. Hokanson!

The University of Texas Merit Badge University has been scheduled for April 11th. This is a great event for 511 Scouts, as they can knock out a couple of merit badges in one day, with a short drive. If you are a Merit Badge Counselor, keep an eye out for info on how to sign up to teach. More information will be posted on their Facebook page soon: https://www.facebook.com/utmbu/

Scouts have sold over $2100 in greenery already! Returning scouts can reactivate their account from previous years. New Scouts can visit: http://util.sherwoodforestfarms.com/users/register/regcode:5010646bf1  Scroll down to “New Participant Registration” and register your scout as a participant. Next, add a name, picture and short welcome statement to set up a personal mini-site. If you set up a miniwebsite, that’s the link to share with people. Otherwise, people can buy from the Troop 511 Greenery Site and then choose your Scout’s name from a dropdown menu when ordering. 

It's time to move forward with Winter Camp registration! Has your Scout gone to Summer or Winter Camp yet? It's a great experience! Troop 511 is heading to Camp Karankawa, down near Corpus Christi, for Winter Camp, for a few days during winter break. We will arrive midday on Dec 27 and leave midday on Dec 30. If your Scout has not yet attended camp, this is a great chance to start. Scouts can earn up to 4 merit badges, and we expect it to be shorts-and-t-shirt weather down on the coast. Once we have a well-defined list of scouts going, Mr. Barnett will be reaching out to see what merit badges the Scouts want to sign up for.
