Hi everyone, I have booked a special date at the Philadelphia Zoo for the boys to do the Reptile and Amphibian Merit Badge. It is Saturday, May 19, 2007, at 10AM to 2PM. It costs $22.00 per scout and $9 per adult or sibling to also go. You can tour the zoo while the scouts are in class. The scouts are free to tour the zoo after the class. We have to see how many are going before we can make plans for transportation. The person that teaches this class is a Merit Badge instructor in the Cradle of Liberty district of the BSA and she will sign off what she covers with the scouts. And all of the badge is covered except for #8 in the requirements. If you can complete this before May 19th, then she will sign this off for you as well with the completed paperwork. If you are interested in this, please pay Mrs. Kelly (Mason's Mom) by April 17th --- the next scout meeting. I need to call in the definite number by the 18th and pay for it as well. I will also need to get a tour permit for the total number in our group. So far: Mason Kelly, Tyler Riccobene, and Kyle Kemler have paid to attend. Any questions, feel free to email me or call me at 215-355-8049. YIS Mrs. Bridget Kelly
