Good evening all, 

Just a quick note to bring your attention to the Orienteering ("Map and Compass") skills day I just added to the calendar. It's currently set for June 4 in the morning. We are working on details to include where we are meeting at O'Neil Regional Park. 

On the website menu, a new tab has been added to include a list of Merit Badges and Troop 618 Merit Badge Counselors. As a reminder, scouts can also look under the Advancement tab to learn more about Merit Badges and Blue Cards. 

Dear Troop 618,

I would like to tell you about my Eagle Project and invite you to participate. My Eagle Project is a Book Drive that will benefit a free Book Fair for the students at All Tribes American Indian Charter School in Valley Center, CA.

You can participate by:
-Donating gently used or new books for grades Kindergarten through 5th grade. See details on calendar to drop off or bring to a troop meeting now through May 6.
-Sign up to volunteer to vet, wipe down, stamp, and organize books on Saturday May 7th, 8am-noon In Ladera Ranch. 8-10 volunteers needed. 
-Drive to All Tribes American Indian Charter School (34320 Valley Center Road, Valley Center, CA 92082) after school on Thursday, May 19, arrive at 5pm to unload and set up the Book Fair. Drivers needed to take scouts and return after set up. Sign up on the troop website. 4 volunteers needed.

The free Book Fair will take place during school hours on May 20.

If you’d like to make a financial contribution for the truck rental to transport books (or if you have a full size van we can borrow the evening of May 19 through May 20!), boxes and supplies, you can send a check payable to Troop 618 re: “Sawyer D's Eagle Project” or see details on calendar to Venmo my mom.
