Earning Cyber Chip for Scout rank

New scouts wishing to earn their Cyber Chip for the Scout rank can find the detailed requirements for their school grade on the Netsmartz site at https://www.netsmartz.org/ scouting

Scouts can prepare by

1) Working with their parents to create an agreement on what constitutes appropriate Internet and electronics use for the scout

2) Watching the videos on the Netsmartz site (Friend or Fake and two others of the scout’s choice, from here: http://www.nsteens.org/videos. aspx.)

3) Becoming familiar with the Troop 365 Electronics Use Policy. This can be found on the troop website at http://www.bsa365.org

We need some help on the bus. Do you have experience or are you willing to learn vinyl seat repair? We have a number of seats that have splits, cracks, or tears and we need to repair these for our upcoming inspection and for the longevity of the seats. Tape repairs are not acceptable for inspection so this will require vinyl kit repairs. We also need to replace a marker light (requires a ladder and running to get the bulb). And last, we need a good cleaning (sweep it out, wipe it down inside, wash it outside).

We need your help, please contact Steve Aspery 614-205-9897 or saspery@darifill.com if you can lend a hand.

Calling all chefs! We’ll be preparing made to order omelettes on Easter Sunday morning, March 27th at the Church. We have done this for a few years now and the congregation really appreciates it.

Everything you need will be provided—including aprons and instructions. (We’ll be done by 9:30 am)
