Adult Volunteers Needed for Greenery Delivery

Our greenery order will be delivered sometime the week of November 16th. We don’t know the exact day or time, but whenever it arrives at the church, we need some adult volunteers to come to the church to sort it into orders and put it inside the Ralph Moak garage. Last year it came on a Tuesday around lunchtime. If you think you may be able to help with this on short notice, please let Gina Eddleman know.

 

Popcorn Delivery

If you have not picked up your popcorn order, please pick it up from Mr. Ross Earl at next Tuesday’s meeting. Also, if you have any money due for popcorn orders, please turn it into Mr. Earl as soon as possible.

 

Updated Troop Policy

Attached is a an updated copy of our Troop Policy. All Scouts and parents should read and become familiar with the Policy. Here is a summary of the changes:

·         Page 8 – Parental Participation –  the following was added: “Faith Presbyterian Church requires adult leaders of Troop 48 acknowledge faith in Jesus Christ and support the church’s views of traditional marriage.”

·         Page 15 – Scout Bucks – changed to include Scouters and limited use of Scout Bucks to fees collected by the Troop, unless approved by the Committee Chair and Treasurer.

·         Page 16 – Troop Funds – added that adults have one free campout per year and added a provision for reimbursement for Scoutmasters for certain training courses up to $200 per year.
