The parade starts from the VFW Hall and ending up downtown at the southeast corner of the Courthouse to the Memorial. Meet at the old VFW post, 9:30 am. Ken and Eric plan to walk in the parade. Mrs. B will be taking pictures. Any other leader is also welcome to walk in the parade. Wear your Class A's, look neat and tidy and be ready to represent Troop 1. Hope to see you there! Have a Happy Memorial Day and don't forget to honor our veterans.
Thursday- It is foggy this AM but it will burn off—not supposed to rain. Same with Friday. Don’t cancel your cutting plans PLEASE because of the overcast and light drizzle.
If you come to Resurrection, start on the site around the chapel—don’t start way out in the back 40. Once the chapel site is mowed, start along the entrance road and loop and move east and west. These are the most visible parts and get the “drive by” critiques that cause calls.
Same with Old St Mary—start along the roads if you are there alone unless Tim has another plan—work in so we maximize the appearance for casual observers first.
Thanks for all of your help- Ken

Scouts! Let's walk in the Memorial Day Parade, on Monday May 26th. The parade starts from the VFW Hall and ending up downtown at the southeast corner of the Courthouse to the Memorial. Meet at the old VFW post, 9:30 am. Ken and Eric plan to walk in the parade. Mrs. B will be taking pictures. Any other leader is also welcome to walk in the parade. Wear your Class A's, look neat and tidy and be ready to represent Troop 1.
We’re pleased to share some exciting news about a new fundraising program for our organization. It’s called “Scrip ”, and it’s the fundraising program that works while you shop.
Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money” – in other words, Scrip is gift certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our Scrip program including JCPenney, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and many, many others.
You’re probably asking yourself how these stores help us raise money. It’s simple -- Scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount. Member families like yours buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our school keeps the difference as revenue. And Scrip is exciting, because everybody wins:
· The retailer gets cash up front and repeat business…
· You get a powerful fundraising alternative that involves no selling …
· Our troop gets a regular source of revenue.
The beauty of Scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. You earn money for our troop without spending a single additional penny. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with Scrip at the stores that participate in the Scrip program! And Scrip can be used for just about any household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and even dining out.
Check out: Shop with Scrip. You can find out more about the program, enroll in Scrip, and download a list of participating retailers. Choose Join Your Existing Scrip Program (in green) and then sign up. Put in the troop enrollment code. The Troop 1 enrollment code is: 363A6A8439579.
