New BSA
advancement requirements: A new edition of Boy Scout requirements released in January 2010 includes revised requirements for all of the
ranks, major revisions to 5 merit badges, minor changes to 12 merit badges and
the requirements for a new Scuba Diving merit badge. If a Scout started work
toward a rank before January 1, 2010 using the requirements that were current
before January 1, 2010, he may complete THAT RANK ONLY using the old
requirements.

Upcoming Deadlines:
2010-08-28 Merit Badge Conference - Due the morning of August 28
Misc:
New Uniform Information: 2008 New Uniform Guide.pdf. They're on sale at Council now! Old uniforms will be phased out. So when they're gone, they're gone!
Troop 935 Event Calendar: Our 2009-2010 event calendar is now posted! Browse the Google version at the bottom of this page or go to our Troop Information page to view a PDF version.
Medical Forms: BSA National has introduced a new medical form for 2009. This single form replaces the Class 1, 2 & 3 forms used previously. This form is optional for Summer Camp, but will be mandatory for National Scout Jamboree. Click here for more info.
Homesickness: This is a fantastic article from a past Scouting magazine issue pertaining to dealing with homesickness. It gives a lot of good advice for leaders and parents pertaining to how we should deal with it. Please pay specific attention to the section titled 'Set up a no-call policy'. We have had to deal with this issue frequently. This is a reason we do not allow cell phones to be seen at campouts. While we can't control use inside a tent, we hope parents will understand, support, and reinforce our position to your sons. Not a Happy Camper
Welcome to the latest iteration of the Troop 935 website! Take a look around; if something isn't working right let us know. If you would like anything added, let us know that as well. Hopefully, all of the forms you need are readily available in one of the four headers on the left under 'Forms'. We have a few things to do here yet, including adding more to our picture pages and try a password protection area for family contact information, committee meeting minutes, Scoutmaster reports, Scout account status, summer camp payment status by Scout, and other things. For you 'old timers' out there, there are plenty of things that are missing and gaps that need filled in, so please feel free to contribute or offer missing details!
