Volunteers needed for Color Guard – June 13th and June 20th – Please help!
We still need several more Scout volunteers for Saturday, June 13th, and maybe one or two more for Saturday, June 20th to serve as a color guard for two programs that Faith Presbyterian church is holding. Scouts participating would need to be there at 3:00 and the program will be from 4-5 with picnic/refreshments served afterward. Please let Mr. Adkins (DINK6996@aol.com) and Mr. Ragland (rbragland@gmail.com) know if you can volunteer. We want our Troop to help out the church as much as possible, and this will be a good opportunity for us to give back.
BBQ Fundraiser – July 3 & 4 – Sell more BBQ!
Attached is a color flyer in PowerPoint that you can use to put up at your place or work or church to help BBQ sales. You can edit the file to add your name and contact information (Thanks to Mr. Issing for designing this!). Also attached is the BBQ order form (it is also posted on the Troop website). Please turn in all orders and money to Mr. Richard Ralph. Orders are due by June 25th. You can email Mr. Ralph your orders, and have the people pay on July 4th when they pick up the BBQ. We will also need Scouts to help distribute the BBQ on July 4th from 10-12. Please let Mr. Ralph know if you can help on July 4th.
