BSA Troop 934
Scouting for Food collection has started. It’s different this year due to COVID. We are asking Scouts and their families to bring non-perishable canned or boxed food to Monday’s meeting at MTUMC. Food collected by the troop will be for the Maple Springs UMC food pantry.
There will be Office Hours tonight, Feb 15 from 6-7 PM at MTUMC. Advancement and MB checkoffs will be available. Dress warmly and for wet weather (adults are needed).

The Troop will have a LIVE meeting tonight at MTUMC at 7 PM.
ALL Scouts UNDER the rank of Life should bring their Scout Handbooks. Patrols will be logging the current status of each Scout with a rank UNDER Life (Scout, Tenderfoot, 2nd Class 1st Class and Star) to see what remains in each Scout’s advancement needs.
Mr. Marvin will NOT be present at tonight’s meeting. He has asked Scouts that have advancement checkoffs that need logging to take a picture of the signed off item (blue card, MB worksheet/completion notice, red/yellow/green cards, etc.) and email it to him (wrmarvin@bellsouth.net).
We will be hosting the Pack 934 Webelos tonight. Welcome them warmly, please, as they will be bridging up to be our newest Scouts in a few weeks.

(Until further notice, our meeting schedule will be live meetings every other week with “office hours” on the off week).
No troop meeting tonight. There WILL be office hours from 6-7 PM for scouts needing advancement check off.
