Scouts need to be registered for camp before May 9th in order to get the rate of $285. After May 9th it goes up to $300. Do not wait until the last minute to get your paperwork to Mrs. B or you run the risk of paying the additional $15. Thanks!
Troop 1 committee members - we will NOT be having our committee meeting tonight. The hall is all set up for voting on Tuesday. We will make a decision about the next committee meeting date at Wednesday's scout meeting. Have a great Sunday!
Hey new scout parents! Looking for a way to contribute to your scout's new troop? We need a volunteer or two to attend this 2014 Kickoff. It's held in Kalkaska at Kalkaska United Methodist Church on May 10 from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. You will learn a lot about scouting in the break out sessions, and we need a volunteer to be our new Popcorn Chair. There is a session called "Popcorn University"! Please let me know if you can go, and I will register you. Lunch is free. Share what you've learned with the rest of the troop!
