Summer 2009: Florida Sea Base is awesome! Move fast! Plan to sign on now; make a commitment to this great summer event! Seabase is a regular on the BSA 365 radar. The Out Island Adventure is the trip we will take. Brian Burkett (a Scouter) has done this trip twice; he says it's a lot of hard work but the crews are outstanding. Mike Hock's been there -- what more can we say! Medical forms are due May 20 -- don't delay!
 | Meeting to discuss plans, etc.: March 2, Gethsemane Lutheran Church 35 E Stanton Ave 7:00 PM. We'll be about 30-45 minutes. |
| Crews are locked in -- it's done! Crew #1, June 24-30: Bill Alsnauer A, Braden Alsnauer A, Jason Gaston, Kurtis Walker, Nick Darby, Jake Anderson, David Aspery, Dominic Cautela. Crew #2, July 2-8: Jeff Battisti A, Brenda Serpa A, Jeff Gilligan A, Lynda Gilligan A, Joey Gilligan, Tate Greuling, Chris Battisti, Greg Serpa |
| Contact Mr. Alsnauer for planning questions. Go to www.bsaseabase.org to answer any questions about the trek. |
| Additional checks will be due at the first Scout Meeting of each month: February, $400 -- get these to Mr. Alsnauer or Mr. Williams so we can arrange air transportation if tickets suddenly get cheap!; March, $300; April, $200; May, $100. We imagine the trip to cost about $1100. |
| All Scouts are to be VERY active in Troop 365 for this entire year until the travel. All Scouts are expected to attend meetings, provide leadership and to attend a minimum of (3) campouts, day hikes, etc., during the next 5 months. This is part of the Scouting Spirit. |
| All participants must successfully pass the BSA Swimmer test. You'll be retested at Sea Base, and sent home if you can't do it. |
| All Scouts must have the Cooking Merit Badge. This has traditionally been an unofficial Eagle requirement -- it's a requirement for this trip. |
