*****************
Meeting Plans
*****************
As I mentioned, we're headed into an Advancement month. If you are either Colin Watts, the Potomoid or any non-MOBster, come prepared with paper, pencil, and knowledge of whether you would like to work on:
(a) Photography (not Eagle required)
(b) Communications (Eagle required)
(c) Personal Management (Eagle required)

If you would like to check out the current requirements for these merit badges, you can do so here:

Photography: http://www.meritbadge.com/mb/083.htm
Communications: http://www.meritbadge.com/mb/005.htm
Personal Management: http://www.meritbadge.com/mb/011.htm

If you're in the MOB and you're neither Colin nor Nick, then you'll be working on your under-1st Class advancement. EXCEPT FOR THIS WEDNESDAY. This Wednesday you're going to be working with a couple of the older guys to show the Webelos from Westford a good time when they come to visit us and decide whether they'd like to cross over into our ranks. Make sure you come dressed accordingly.

**********************
PLC Next Tuesday
**********************
Next Tuesday, February 7th, is the first Tuesday of the month. PLC at my house from 6:30 - 8:00. Do not be late. Do not forget paper/pencil/supplications.

******************************
Parents for Uncle Henry's
******************************
We still need two, that's right, TWO parents to sign up to supervise the winter campout at Uncle Henry's on the weekend of February 18th. Since the permission slips need to go out this week if we're going to keep this on the calendar, I need to have those volunteers before noon on Wednesday or we'll have to cancel.

****************************************
Permission Slips for Uncle Henry's
****************************************
If we get the adults, the permission slips for our first full-on shelter-building winter campout will go out at the coming meeting and will be due back next week. The fires that we build on this campout are legendary. The Cogleys will have it no other way. That's why I like them.

*******************
Gmail invitations
*******************
For anyone out there looking for a great, free web-based email account, I have a ton of gmail invitations that I can give away. If you're a kid, I'll need a parent's ok before I send you the invite.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's all for now. See you Wednesday.

Your Scoutmaster,

Sonnick
