Scout Sunday: This Sunday
Scout Sunday is a MAJOR EVENT FOR ALL Troop 934 Scouts and Adult Leaders to attend this Sunday, February 25th at Mount Tabor UMC.
At the 11:00 am Church service, our congregation is celebrating our Scouts and Adult Leaders and recognizing our highly successful Scout program.
- Scouts and Leaders need to wear their Class A uniform and plan to arrive in the Welcome Center at or before 10:30 am where we will assemble and walk into the sanctuary to reserved pews prior to the start of the 11:00 am Church service.
- Scout Sunday is also our annual ‘Scouting For Food’ high priority Community Service Project of our Scouts and congregation for Maple Springs UMC Food Pantry. The food drive will start at 8:30 am until 12:00 pm (noon).
We ask all our Scouts and Leaders to bring a bag(s) of food with them on Sunday.
The volunteer Food Pantry Director advises their most critical priority needs are:
- Breakfast items such as cereal, cereal bars and pop tarts.
- Crackers such as saltines, ritz crackers, nabs and cheese crackers.
- Condiments like ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, salad dressing and BBQ sauces
- shelf ready-to-serve juices
- cake mixes & cake icing, brownie mix, cookies
- non-perishable food in cans or boxes, can potatoes, toothpaste, dish soap,
- paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, manual can openers.
After Church service is over, we plan to finish loading food in the trailer and leave to deliver a very large amount of food to the Food Pantry about 3 miles from the Church. We need Scouts and Leaders to go with us to unload the food at the Food Pantry and place on shelves. We want our Scouts to experience the mission and work at the Food Pantry. Once done, we plan to return to the Church parking lot between 1:30 and 2:00 pm for their ride home.
Scouts that signed-up for assigned duties at our Troop meeting this past Monday night should receive a reminder on Friday of their assignment and arrival time.
If you have any questions, please call or text Steve Kelley, Assistant Scoutmaster at 336-399-4040 or Shannon Settlemeir at 336-692-4519.
