Troop Trailer Designs
If you have an idea for the design to go on our new Troop trailer, please submit that to Mr. Issing by January 20th. Please contact Mr. Issing if you have any questions.
Kroger Community Rewards
The Kroger Community Rewards program allows our Troop to receive donations from Kroger based on our group’s shopping. Kroger is requiring everyone to re-enroll effective January 1. So please go to the website krogercommunityrewards.com and sign up your Kroger shopping card. Our group is called “Boy Scout Troop 48 Faith P.C.” and our number is 80383. This program does not impact any of the Kroger card benefits you receive, it’s just a way for our Troop to get donations from Kroger, so please sign up.
60th Annual Spaghetti Supper – February 13th
Tickets for the spaghetti supper fundraiser will be given to Scouts to sell on January 27th, and tickets will be $8 each. If a Scout sells 8 tickets, then his meal is free. We need Scouts to be there at 4:00 pm on the 13th in uniform, and we need all parents to help out. Parents, please let Eric Hube know how you would like to help - cook, set-up, work the drive-thru, etc. We also need each family to provide a dessert on the 13th. The time for the dinner is 5 pm – 7 pm, and we will have a drive-thru open from 4:30 – 5:30 pm.
Welcome to Troop 48!
Please join us in welcoming Darrian Lockett and Ashley Park to our Troop! Darrian is returning to Scouting and a friend of Kyle Ralph. Ashley is a new scout and is related to the Scobey family.
