Please invite your friends to “Like” our Facebook page, this is an easy way you can help to recruit new Scouts to our Troop.

Here are some tips for the new Facebook page:

Thanks to Elliot Ragland and Teddy Johnson for inviting their friends to join us!

 

Updated Troop Roster Attached

An updated Troop Roster including our four new Scouts is attached. Please save this file where you can easily access it, as it is not posted on our Troop website. We also recommend printing out a copy to have on hand if our Troop is mobilized for emergency assistance when the power is out. If any of your contact information needs to be updated, please let Mr. Brian Issing know.

 

Save the Dates

December 13th – Troop Christmas Pot-Luck Dinner – 6 pm

February 10th – 62nd Annual Spaghetti Supper fundraiser

 

Greenery & Popcorn Fundraisers – Orders and money due October 25th

Mrs. Gina Eddleman is leading our greenery sale, and Mr. Ross Earl is leading our popcorn sale. If you did not receive order forms last week, please get those from Mrs. Eddleman and Mr. Earl. They are also available if you have any questions. The orders and money are due on October 25th, and the products will be delivered in mid-November. Remember that for the greenery sale, for the Holiday Gift Products that are shipped directly to the purchaser, you need to fill out a Holiday Gift Order form for each item. Mrs. Eddleman has more Holiday forms if you need them, and please return Holiday forms you won’t be using to her. Every Scout or Scouter who sells popcorn or greenery will earn 60% of the profits for their ScoutBucks accounts, so the more you sell, the more Scoutbucks you will have to pay for campouts, trips, Summer camp, etc.
