2. Use a spreadsheet program to develop a food budget for a patrol weekend campout.
3. Use a word processor to write a letter to the parents of your troop's Scouts inviting them to a court of honor. Use the program's mail merge feature to make a personalized copy of the letter for each family.
4. Use a computer graphics program to design and draw a campsite plan for your troop, OR design a flyer for an upcoming troop event.
5. Using a software package of your choice, develop a short presentation about a topic that has been approved by your counselor. For your presentation create at least 10 slides.

7. Using a digital camera, take a picture of a troop activity. Transfer the picture file to a computer and use photographic software to make it small enough to send easily as an e-mail attachment. Then, using a computer connected to the Internet (with your parent's permission), send an e-mail to someone you know. In your message, include the photograph as an attachment. Verify that the person received your e-mail and was able to view the attachment.

 

Do ONE of the following:

1. Visit a business or an industrial plant that uses computers. Observe what tasks the computers accomplish, and be prepared to discuss what you have learned.

3. Use a general purpose programming language to write a simple program application of your choice, subject to approval by your counselor.
4. Design a Web page for your troop, patrol, school, or place of worship. You need not post the page to a Web site. However, if you decide to do so, you will first need to get your parent's permission and your counselor's approval, as well as permission from the host site.

Scout House Yardwork

Scout House Yard Work Schedule

Families should make arrangements with others to provide lawn mower and tools.  The yard is quite small.  You can select the date that works best for you.  I put down Saturday dates, but if another day during the week is better for you, feel free to adjust the schedule.  I made the schedule through the end of September (every other week).  We'll post an October - November schedule later.  I think no more than two or three boys are needed per session through September (more boys may be needed in the fall for leaf raking).
