Troop 151 - Georgetown, TX

The Chisholm Trail District, in conjunction with the Round Rock Texas Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is sponsoring a Merit Badge Fair designed to assist scouts in earning merit badges that they may not have an opportunity to earn at summer camp.

Whether you are interested in just earning merit badges or beginning your journey to earn the prestigious Hornaday Award, the Hornaday Award Weekend is an experience that you will make an annual event. Each Weekend includes professional instructors for the twenty Hornaday conservation merit badges and Hornaday project management guidance.

Troop 151's Scouts will be attending summer camp at Hale Scout Reservation near Talihina, Oklahoma from Sunday, July 19 through Saturday, July 25. See

Some of you may have heard about a new BSA medical form. Let me try to answer your questions and clarify the situation.

Starting January 1, 2010 an Annual BSA Health and Medical Form (attached) will replace all old medical forms and be required for all activities. This means that until the end of this year you can continue to use the old forms (Class 1/2 and Class 3). You can still re-sign an old form, if needed and if it is within the 3 year limit, for this year only. Keep in mind that if your scout needs a new physical for summer camp or some other activity it might be a good idea to use the new form since all old medical forms will expire at the end of this year, no matter when signed.
