My Son Never Told Me!

Have you experienced the situation where your son did not pass along important information regarding our troop?  We’ve tried several approaches, none of which have worked very well.  Since people tend to arrive for troop meetings at varying times based on their personal schedules, we have decided to make important announcements near the end of troop meetings.  For now, please come into the Scout House when you arrive to pick up your Scout.  Announcements will begin at approximately 7:55 PM at each troop meeting.

Troop Dues End

The Troop Committee has decided to eliminate collecting monthly dues as of mid-2003.  Dues have been refunded into the Scout accounts for those Scouts who paid dues after mid-2003.
