July, we will not hold a regular troop meeting. Instead, please try to attend the Israeli Scout Friendship Caravan performance at the Temple Har Shalom in Park City, July 10, 2009 at 7:30 pm. Try to be there at 7:00 pm so we can sit together and wear your full uniform. This event will also satisfy one of the key requirements for the Citizenship in the World Merit Badge. See the complete information below.
The Israeli Scout Friendship Caravan is in Utah next week!
The Tzofim Friendship Caravan includes highly-motivated and musically-talented Israelis ages 16 and 17 who are active members of the 60,000 member-strong Tzofim (Israel Scouts) which is part of the International Scouting movement. The co-educational Tzofim is the only non-political, non-sectarian youth movement in Israel . The shows introduce Israeli culture and folklore in performances for audiences of all ages, races and religions, and expressing the vast cultural diversity in Israel .
The Great Salt Lake Council Relationships Committee and the United Jewish Federation of Utah are hosting the Tzofim Caravan again this year when Israeli scouts will put on free musical shows open to the public at various locations. Three FREE shows are open to all Scouts and the general public

The Great Salt Lake Council encourages Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Varsity teams and Venturing crews to attend one or more of these shows in uniform. Leaders may pick up certificates for each scout who attends to show completion of the Citizenship in the World merit badge requirement 7: “participate in or attend an international event in your area.”
Tzofim is the Hebrew word for Scouts. The Tzofim is the National Scouting Organization in Israel that includes the majority of boys and girls in the age groups of Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts and Venturers in the BSA. Both the Boy Scouts of American and The Tzofim are part of the World Organization of the Scout movement -The World Brotherhood of Scouting.

August, we will not hold a regular troop meeting. Instead, please use this time to fund raise for your Jamboree Camp fees. Telaina and the committee have several good fundraisers organized but it is up to you to communicate with her to participate in these opportunities.
September, we will hold our regular Troop Meeting on September 17, 2009 at the Wanship Meetinghouse.
October, we will hold a Jamboree Troop Overnight Campout on Friday and Saturday June 16 and 17, 2009 up Echo Canyon on Christopher Robinson's Ranch Property.
Attendance. It is very important that each boy attend the regular troop meetings and campouts. Being together as a troop before the Jamboree provides the boys an opportunity to bond together and for the adult leaders to ascertain the individual and group dynamics in selecting leaders, assigning room/tent mates, buddies, etc.
Fees. The following is the schedule for the amounts and due dates for payment of fees to the Council.
July 1st $1,500.00
Sep 30th $1,800.00
Nov 1st $2,000.00
Dec 30th $2,500.00
Again, there are some very good fundraisers available to the boys, but regardless, we need to have the monies remitted to the council on time. Airline, Hotel, and other arrangements need to be pre-paid. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks for all you do and we look forward to a fantastic year of Scouting as we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Scouting in America.
Yours in Scouting,
Bruce R. Hough
