Blue Card process - Just what you've been waiting for... we have now posted on our 'Advancement' page the steps necessary for completing a Blue Card. We hope this will take a lot of the guess work and confusion out of this process. Please download the format of your choice and review this process.
	Hiking/Backpacking - Just in time for summer... a new page has been added to our Camping page for Hiking and Backpacking. Lot's of information to get you started, where to go, how to get there and how to make sure you get back safely!
	New Scouts - remember you must have all of your registration paperwork and medical forms turned if you are planning on attending the April campout. Scouts - just a reminder to get your 2009 Medical Forms completed and turned in by the May 4 Troop Meeting. There are new medical forms and procedures effective 2009. Every scout must turn in new medical forms every year: 3 copies of Part A, B, C and your insurance card.
	Troop photo - May 4th. The SPL has requested that everyone wear your green troop t-shirt under your uniform shirt. Everyone should be in full uniform. We also want all leaders present for the photo, even if you are not normally in uniform.
	Weather for Camps - Weather detail has been added for each of the campsites listed on our 'maps' page. Please notice the new link 'Camp Weather' on the maps page. This is updated automatically when you go to this page. This will help you prepare accordingly for the weather!

National Jamboree - It is not too late for your scouts to sign up for the 2010 Jamboree! Slots are still available at this time but will be gone soon. Youth positions and Adult Staff positions are still available online and maybe accessed through www.MyScouting.org for non-BSA employees. We are no longer accepting applications for the Council Troop leaders with the exception of 3rd Assistant Scoutmasters who must be 18 but not reach their 21st birthday during the Jamboree. Applicants will need to use their BSA ID number or their Social Security number to access the application Web site. This application does not guarantee you a position for the jamboree, but does get you started on the process to be approved as a participant or staff member. Please do not apply for any Scoutmaster positions unless you are under 21 and qualify for the third assistant position. All Adult troop positions have been filled. For further information contact: Tom Morin - tommorin@aol.com, Bion Jones - bjones@atlantabsa.org
