Greenery Items for Sale, Expected Delivery this Week
Please see the attached list of greenery items available for sale, and let Gina Eddleman know if you would like to purchase any of these. Greenery is expected to arrive this week, so please watch emails for times to pick it up. Once we find out the exact delivery date, we will need assistance from parents to sort & hand out greenery. The more hands we have, the less time it will take!
Registration Fees for 2015 due by November 30
The annual registration fee for all Scouts is $36 (includes $12 Boys Life) and $24 for all BSA registered adults. Siblings can share one Boys Life subscription. Please pay these fees to Mr. Fred Lee by November 30th. Scout Bucks may be used.
Missing Equipment
The troop is missing two backpacking water filters one of which was last seen on the May 2014 canoe trip on the Upper Current River. The sign-out sheet has been misplaced so we are hoping that someone has seen this: Water Filter - Pur Micro Hiker (Katadyn Microfilter) Please let Dave Parsels know if you have seen it. dp6fan@gmail.com
