62nd Annual Spaghetti Supper – Sell your Tickets!
Tickets for the spaghetti supper fundraiser were handed out to Scouts last Tuesday (each Scout received 8 tickets), and tickets are $10 each. For every 8 tickets sold , one free ticket is earned.

Please turn in ticket money and any unsold tickets on Tuesday, February 14th.
On Friday, February 17th, we need Scouts to be there at 4:00 pm in uniform, and we need all parents to help out. Parents, please let Kelley Lee know how you would like to help - cook, set-up, clean-up, etc. We also need each family to provide a dessert on the 17th. The time for the dinner is 5 pm – 7 pm.

Skymont Summer Camp
The Troop will be attending Skymont Summer Camp on June 10-17. The total fee will be $200 for Scouts and $85 for Adults. These amounts are being subsidized by Troop funds per person by $80 for Scouts and $65 for Adults. The first deposit of $75 for Scouts and $30 for Adults for Skymont Summer Camp is due February 7th, or you may pay the full fee if you like. More information will be provided at the February 7th meeting. Please note that Skymont payments may not be refundable, unless another Scout takes the spot. Please make every effort to sign up by February 7nd, as the Troop has to make payment to Skymont very soon after that.
Skymont Summer Camp Financial Assistance
A limited number of Troop Camperships are available to provide financial assistance for summer camp upon a demonstrated family financial need. Scouts are encouraged to earn a portion of their fees in following the Scout Law tenet of, "A Scout is Thrifty".
