Hi folks, a couple new things to tell you about this time! There will be no Scout Post next Monday (Memorial Day). We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, May 26th, for the End-of-the-Year Family Cookout (details below)!

End-of-Year Family Cookout

Come one, come all!! We will be celebrating the end of another great school year with a barbecue! Join us at 6pm on Tuesday, May 26th at the Evergreen Highlands barn (from Aspen Ridge Church, take N. Turkey Creek 2 miles south and turn left onto Silverhorn. About a 1/2 mile up, turn right to reach the barn). Dinner will be provided and consists of burger/hot dogs, chips, veggies/dip, and cookies for dessert. Bring a blanket and/or lawn chair and any lawn games that you'd like to play. New handbooks and neckerchiefs will be given to all returning Scouts!

Final Awards

Den Leaders, if you have any remaining awards to be given at the cookout, please have those to Karen no later than this Friday (May 22nd). She can be reached at karenkitchner@yahoo.com.

Memorial Day Preparations

It is a tradition in our town to have the Scout Packs/Troops put out flags for the veterans in the two local cemeteries. Please read Art "Mr. Gutz" Gutierrez's email below and respond directly to him if you are interested in helping out this year. He can be reached by phone at 303-674-4391 or e-mail at mr.gutz@q.com.

It is that time of the year again and I am hoping to carry on a wonderful community tradition in memory of Ralph Evans, one of the founders of Troop 737 and a WWII Army Air Corp veteran. We will be placing American flags on the graves of all veterans at the two Evergreen cemeteries. I would like to get the flags in place by Saturday, May 23rd. My thoughts are to assemble at 5:00pm onFriday, May 22th to handle the placement of flags at the Bear Creek Cemetery (aka Old Evergreen Cemetery) next to Christ the King Catholic Church located on Hwy 74 just above Evergreen Lake. We will assemble at the Evergreen Memorial Park on Saturday, May 23rd, at 9:00am.

This is a great way to support our community and honor our fallen veterans. Scouts can earn service hours toward rank advancement. Please let me know your availability as soon as possible for Friday afternoon, May 22nd and Saturday morning, May 23rd. I look forward to hearing back from many of you. Should you have any questions, please feel free in contacting me. Of course, living in Colorado, we must always be prepared for the weather. The flag placement will be completed, come rain, snow, or shine. "Be Prepared."

I would like to thank everyone who participated in this event over the previous years and also thank, in advance, all those participating this year. Being a veteran of 26 years, it gives me great pleasure to see that we do not forget those who made such great sacrifices for securing the freedoms that we enjoy in America.

Yours in Scouting,
