Hello, Scouting Leaders.

On August 21, 2017 a Total Solar Eclipse will occur over North America. Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, Venturers, and Sea Scouts will have the opportunity to earn a Solar Eclipse Patch. For information on how to earn the patch please visit http://www.scouting.org/eclipse2017.aspx  
An image of the patch is included at the bottom of this email. The patch is 3" in diameter and costs $1.99. This patch is an excellent way to commemorate this unique experience. 

 Due to the patch's popularity, it will need to be pre-ordered. If you would please email monica.schultz@scouting.org before 1 p.m. on Thursday, August 3, 2017 with 

- Your Unit Number.
- The number of Solar Eclipse patches you would like to order.
- The payment method you would like to use.

I am sorry for the short notice. Please let me know if you have any questions by emailing monica.schultz@scouting.org or by calling the Scout Office at (765) 452-8253.

I hope you are all having a wonderful last few weeks of summer.

Best Regards,

Monica Schultz
