Different Meeting Room for Troop Meeting on Tuesday, November 8th, Election Day
The church will be a voting place for the 11/8 election, so we will have the troop meeting Tuesday night in the youth room near the chapel, instead of our usual meeting room. Please use the entrance near the chapel to enter the church that night, so as not to interfere with the election.
Scouts BSA Registration Fees for 2023 are due NOW
Please pay the 2023 Scouts BSA registration fees to our treasurer, Mr. Fred Lee, by next Tuesday, they were due on November 1, but many have not paid yet. The amount for Scouts is $90 (including $15 for Scout Life magazine). Brothers may share one Scout Life magazine subscription. The amount for registered adults is $45. If you do not wish to register for 2023, please let John Campbell know.
Pancake Breakfast on November 12 – Please sign up to work
We will be having a pancake breakfast fundraiser on Saturday morning, November 12. We need all parents, adults and Scouts to work that morning. All Scouts need to arrive at the church at 7:15 AM on November 12 and stay until clean-up is completed, hopefully by noon. For adults, there are two shifts: 1) 5:30 AM – 8 AM or 2) 8 AM – Noon. Feel free to sign up for both adult shifts if you like, we welcome the help. Tickets for the breakfast will cost $10 per adult and $5 per child (under age 12). Scouts will earn 60% of the profits in Scoutbucks for the tickets they sell and for the hours they work at the breakfast. If you are working at the breakfast and want to eat there, you need to purchase a ticket. Please sign up using this link: Pancake Breakfast Sign-Up so we can make sure we have enough people to work. Please sell tickets and invite your friends!
