Okay, I forgot a couple important things at the picnic.  Foremost is a big THANK YOU to our Tiger Dens for putting on a great picnic.  Our three dens, and especially their den leaders — Mrs. Bonacci, Mrs. Vega, Mr. Miller, and Mrs. Robitaille —  put in a lot of work to pull everything together.  And hey, how about that Kona Ice?  The way the kids went after it, I thought for a minute that it was 75 degrees out there….

I also wanted to say a thank you to Troop 2 for loaning us the carports, and to Mr. Allcorn from Troop 2 for all the extra tables and chairs.  Now what most of you missed was this:  Before and after the picnic, we had one scout each from Troop 2, Troop 248 and Troop 834 working together to set up and tear down the carports and extra seating. That was an awful lot of Good Turns (and cooperation) from all three of our awesome local Troops.  Thank you scouts!

FOR THOSE ATTENDING THE PIRATES GAME:  

• If you are part of the Color Guard, do not enter the ballpark! You will use your game ticket to enter the ballpark AFTER you have completed your on-field ceremony.
• You should report to the Mazeroski Way cul-de-sac by 5:45. 
• Reporting later than your assigned time may put your participation in the on-field ceremony in jeopardy, so please leave yourself plenty of time to get to the ballpark.
• The Mazeroski Way Cul-De-Sac is on the west side of the ballpark and marked with a giant statue of Bill Mazeroski.
• Scouts and leaders need to be in uniform to participate in the Color Guard.
• Other ticket holders (those not going on the field) can proceed to their seats, and we will bring all the scouts up to their seats at the end of the ceremonies.
