Here's our last chance to get rid of trees and put some profit in our pocket. All trees $12! Spread the word!
We need folks to work on Saturday as our last day at the tree lot, if trees still remain. Check your schedule and see if you can put in a hour or two.
Don't forget the scout meeting tomorrow is the Christmas party! Bring a treat and/or game and let's have some fun before we go on our Christmas vacation! See you tomorrow, 7:00 pm at Bagley Township hall.
Hi everyone! We still have trees to sell! We need a volunteer for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in hopes to sell some more trees. Every tree we sell is profit for the troop.
FYI, the flags were left outside at the tree lot tonight (Tuesday) so I put them in my van. Kmart was already closed for the night, so I couldn't get the trailer key. I will drop the flags off tomorrow to whomever is working!
If you haven't signed up to work, please do! if you've already put in all your shifts, please consider one more.
Thanks!
Parents! We need a few shifts covered at the tree lot today. The shifts that are open are 2:00-4:00pm and 4:00-6:00pm. We still have 88 trees left to sell. This is the fundraiser that supports our troop, so it is important to make a profit from the tree sales. If you can work at the tree lot today, please do! We appreciate all the folks who have helped work the tree lot this year.
In addition, if there are still trees left after today we need people to sign up for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. And if there are still trees by Saturday, Dec 21, then we need people to work on Saturday as well.
Thank you for your support!

Scouts remember to work on Saturday December 15 for Toys For Tots and the Kiwanis! Hours to work are 10:00 am - 4:00 pm at the building in between the Middle School and South Maple Elementary. (It used to be called the Stars building) All scouts need volunteer time, and we should support the Kiwanis club because they support us. Look for Assistant Scoutmaster Eric Clink when you arrive!
Don't forget that next weeks meeting is the Scout Christmas party! The scouts planned the party, so you'll have to ask your scout what they decided to do. But I'm sure treats would be appreciated!
Lastly, our merit badge counseling sessions are in full swing. Work on your merit badges over the Christmas break so that you will be progressing by the time we resume scout meeting on January 9th!
Come walk with the Boy Scouts in the Gaylord Santa Parade!

Look for Eric Click at the parade lineup. He will be walking with the boys. You will earn 1 hour Service time and every scout needs service time to rank up! Hope to see you there.
Calling volunteers! The Christmas trees will be delivered to Kmart tomorrow morning (Tuesday, November 20) at 7:00 am. We need some helpers to get the trees unloaded, the more the better and the work will go faster and everyone can get to their day job or school!
Please show up to help if you can!
Also, reminder that the boy scout meeting will be held Wednesday at the Kmart parking lot. Regular time, 7:00 pm. Dress Warmly, scouts and parents. Please come to learn about the tree sales process.
