Please make sure your unit has registered for the 100 Hours of Service.
You can either do this online HERE or you can fill out a paper form at Roundtable and return it. We will register you and all you will have to do is update us on your hours. Once your unit reaches 100 hours of service, they will qualify for a ribbon to hang on your unit flag.
(Remember you get one hour for each scout participating. For example 10 scouts working for 1 hour = 10 hours of service.)
If you have any questions, please contact either Ann Eberhard at jweberhard@charter.net or Mark Bellows at bitmanboy@yahoo.com.

A Scout is Helpful!
On February 8, 2010, the Boy Scouts of America will be 100 years old. In celebration of the occasion they invite you to join them in saving lives through the “A Scout is Helpful. 100 donors for 100 years of service” blood drive. Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center and The Gamehaven Council of the Boy Scouts of America are offering scouts age 16 and up, adult leaders, and everyone who supports the Boy Scouts the opportunity to help save a life! Every six minutes, someone at the Mayo Clinic receives a transfusion of blood. As each whole blood donation can be divided into three blood products, someone donating a single unit of whole blood can impact the lives of up to three people!
From February 8th (the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America) through March 31st we are asking all eligible scouts, leaders, and others who support Scouting to participate in the “A Scout is Helpful. 100 donors for 100 years of service” blood drive. During these two months, we encourage you to donate at Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center in the Hilton Building. Please contact the Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center to make an appointment
On March 11 the Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center will be open late. On this date, Scouts who are interested in learning more and/or working on the Medicine Merit badge may come for a tour. Donating and arranging for others to donate will count toward requirement 10 of the Medicine Merit Badge. We would like scouts and leaders interested in the tour to schedule appointments between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM to donate. Please show up at your appointment in your class A uniform. Dr. Jeff Winters, a leader from Troop 21, a blood donor, and a physician in the Division of Transfusion Medicine at the Mayo Clinic, will take those Scouts in uniform on a tour and talk about the importance of blood donation.
For the remainder of the month, when you donate please be sure to sign in on the tally sheet at the front desk so we can track our goal of 100 donors! Help Save a Life!
