What we send you in a separate package- a council patch, "S.W.A.P.S." for each girl, a Massachusetts tour guide for kids, A Boston pin, a Cape Cod coin, shells, a small map, and three postcards.

RIBIT'S ITINERARY

APRIL , 1998

My first stop is going to be Raymore, Missouri. I will make this an extra special stop. I will bring with me some swaps for the troop as well as other goodies. My troop and this troop are collecting council patches, so I will bring a patch from Patriots Trail Council. I will be here for a month , I can't wait to meet everyone.

MAY, 1998

After I leave Missouri I will be heading to a troop in Capistrano, California. I can't wait to visit such a famous place. I don't think I will be there when all the swallows are there though. I can't wait to meet all the scouts here. It will be so beautiful and warm there. I will bring a patch with me to give this troop also.

JUNE, 1998

I will just be getting used to travelling by the time I get to Woodburn, Kentucky. No one in our troop has ever been to Kentucky !! Isn't that where they have that big horse race every year?

JULY, 1998

I hope that someone will knit me something warm to wear for Alaska!! It seems so very far away. I hope the girls there will keep me warm and cozy. The troop is so excited about getting to learn about this state.

AUGUST, 1998

I will be in Morgan Hill, California. I can strip off my winter duds, and put on the suntan lotion. Do frogs tan? My visit will be short here only about three weeks, but it will be lots of fun.

SEPTEMBER, 1998

I will still be sunning myself in sunny California. Only now I will be visiting Edwards Air Force Base. Maybe I will see some planes and pilots. I can't wait to see what life there is like.

OCTOBER, 1998

I'll be spending October on the other side of the U.S. in Pennsylvania. Though I am closer to home, it still isn't Boston. I bet it will still be warmer there.I'll get to help get ready for Halloween!

NOVEMBER, 1998

It is back to Alaska, and this time it will be to Eielson Air Force Base. Now I'll know what to expect from military life. Atleast I am already dressed in green.

DECEMBER, 1998

I'll be visiting Oklahoma this month. I'll be arriving to help celebrate the Holidays here. I can't wait. Do you think Santa will find me way out here? I have a special treat that my girls will send this troop from me.

JANUARY, 1999

I will be in Louisiana in January. To bad it won't be MARDI GRAS time. My girls will be in the middle of winter, and I'll be in my shorts. I think this troop will be hopping!

FEBRUARY, 1999

I will be in New York. I don't know if it is near New York City, but I'll find out when I get there. New York is so big and the only place everyone thinks of is New York City. I know there is some beautiful country out there.

MARCH, 1999

I'll be arriving to spend the Ides of March in Iowa. It will be fun to meet the girls out here. This is another State that no one in our troop has ever visited, or know someone there.

APRIL, 1999

April will be spent in lovely North Carolina, The girls here will be sending their mascot to my girls at the same time. It will be so much fun!

MAY, 1999

This will be my last stop before I go back home. Tennessee will be a beautiful last stop. May is such a beatiful month it will be nice there.

JUNE

HOME!!! I WILL BE BACK HOME WITH MY GIRLS AFTER A WHOLE YEAR.
