Boy Scout troops who need to have adults trained before summer camp Will set up Venture Crew Leader Training. Clyde complemented the Training group for excellent work In May the Spring Camporee will be May 9-11th. Packs with boys having Arrow of Light requirements should be contacted. There is some concern that Grant County may impose a "burn ban." There will be an Order of Arrow call out at the Camporee. Jim Fahy has a program laid out and will have the costumes. Robin reported that Daryl indicated that his sister, associated with Bismarck troop 11, wanted to know if our District wanted to put together a joint camporee at Heart Butte in the Fall. The consensus of those present was that we should respond favorably. During the first two weeks of June, Weeblos camp will be at Heart Butte. We will have a new swim dock if they can find a place with water of sufficient depth. The HB kitchen has been newly furnished with cooking equipment. Everything is looking good. The cook stove will be moved against the back wall. There appears to be good participation planned for unit summer camp. Scouting for Food results were good.
