Dear Scouts and Parents,
The movie 'Lincoln' which has receive numerous accolades and recently an Oscar nomination is said to provide a good history lesson.  There will be a 1800 hrs (6:00 p.m.) showing this Saturday 12 January.  We will leave from St. Thomas at approximately 1700 hrs (5:00 p.m.).  The show is approximately 2.5 hours meaning we should be returning to St. Thomas approximately 2100 hrs (9:00 p.m.)
This cost for Scouts is $5.00.  The Scout program will pay the other cost of the ticket price.  For advance ticket purchase and possible discount please respond as to whether your Scout will be attending prior to 1600 hrs (4:00 p.m.) Friday afternoon. Scouts should bring their money on Saturday to include any snack money. 
We will may have use of the Church van, but will also need some parent transportation assistance.  Ms. Sandi Anderson one of our Troop Committee members has volunteered to be the Transportation Coordinator.  You may contact Ms. Anderson at  Sandra.Anderson@genexservices.com
When you communicate with Ms. Anderson please let her know now how many seats you have available or how many Scouts you can transport.  As a reminder for all those who help transport Scouts, driving is considered the Number 1 most dangerous activity in Scouting.  This ranks above swimming, boating, and other high adventure activities such as climbing. 
All drivers of Scouts should remember to use seat belts and insist on seat belts for all passengers.  Pay particular attention to speed limits and traffic signals.  For your information there is an online Driver's Safety course on the BSA national website www.scouting.org,  Passing this course may qualify for lowering rates on your insurance premiums.
There will be a regular meeting starting at 1500 hrs.  Full Class "A" uniform.  Scouts are hereby notified that a point system may seem be implemented regarding regular uniform wear.  Meaning patrols will begin to receive points as part of a uniform inspection.  Points will not be awarded for Scouts who failed to wear their uniform or do not wear the uniform properly.  New Scouts have a 60 day exemption from the uniform rule.  Patrols earning the highest amount of points will be rewarded. This is an effort to improve proper uniform wear and compliance.

Yours in Scouting,



J.R. Brockman

Scoutmaster

Troop 133
