The troop committee has put together a budget showing what expenses the troop incurs during the scout year along with how those expenses are paid through dues and fundraising.  The budget is available at 2010 - 2011 Troop Budget.  If you have any questions about the budget please contact the Scoutmaster or Treasurer.

Due to limitations in availability of the accommodations for the New York city trip we have had to move the trip one week earlier.  It is now scheduled for November 5th, 6th, and 7th.  Information and permission slips will be distributed at the October 14th troop meeting.

The information sheet and sign-up form are now available for the October backpacking trip. Sign-ups are due September 30th.

This week the scouts will be brainstorming on what to do in New York City during the Troops trip there in November.  Parents and scouts should come prepared to share their ideas with the troop.  The scouts will vote on their top choices and the trip planners will then try to fit as many as possible into the trip's itinerary.

This is a reminder that Cindy Edwards will be conducting merit badge training at the Legion on Thursday evening during our regular Boy Scout meeting at 7:00pm. If you even remotely think you might want to run a merit badge some time in the next year or two, please consider attending. Taking the training does not commit you to running a badge. But NOT taking the training does keep you from running a badge. It can't hurt to do the training.

Please bring 2 copies of your driver's license and take a look at meritbadge.com to see what merit badges you could possibly do. You also need to take the Youth Protection training online. If you have done none of the above and still feel like you would like to sit in on the training, come on down! We can take care of the other details later on.
