So far we have sold 5641.00 toward our 30,000.00 goal.  We need everyone’s help to get to our goal!  Remember we ask that every scout sell at least 400.00 to help keep our troop funded and active.  You can sell online(currently shipping is free on orders over 30.00 and online prices match order forms), on the app or on the paper forms.  Call your customers from last year, go door to door, post on social media, ask your friends and neighbors – get creative while staying safe and maintaining social distances.

All orders and money are due by October 19th.

If you have any questions or concerns email me at atread25@gmail.com. 

Happy Selling!

The troop meeting schedule for the foreseeable future will be:
“Office Hours” every Monday at 6:00-7:00 (or 6:30 if troop meeting)
Troop Meeting – 6:30-7:30 (Oct 12, 26, Nov 9, 23)
Court of Honor – Dec 7 or 14 (TBD)

“Office Hours” =
Merit Badge and Advancement Signoffs
Advancement, Service and Leadership Recordation
Scoutmaster Conferences and Boards of Review
Eagle Book Review – By Appointment ONLY

From the Desk of Scout Master Dan Anthony:

The troop will be holding our first in-person “regular” meeting tomorrow, Sep 28, at 6:30pm at MTUMC. We will be meeting at the same area where the Court of Honor was held. We will be conducting patrol elections and making final preparations for the Grayson Highlands backpacking trip.

Masks and social distancing will be required.

Also, starting this Monday, and for all following Mondays that the troop would “normally” meet, there will be leaders holding “office hours” for advancement and merit badge check off needs and other administrative needs (like popcorn submissions, etc.) We will be located at the courtyard colonnade or, if there is a full troop meeting, where that meeting is designated to take place. 

For now, we are aiming for full troop meetings to occur every other week – rain or shine or dark! The troop leadership is hoping we can continue to focus on our outdoor program to be an outlet for our scouts and a means to get advancement needs covered during our unusual restricted COVID-19 time. The biweekly troop meetings will hopefully add to that plan.

From the Desk of Dan Hardy regarding Grayson Highlands Backpack Trip:
