Please keep up to date
on your monthly dues. We collect $10.00 each month for troop operation. This
can be paid or taken from your son’s Scout Account. Scout Accounts are funded
by participation in fundraising activities. The Scout account can be used to pay
for Summer Camp fees, Monthly camp-out fees, Troop Dues, Uniform expenses, and
Troop related expenses that are approved by the Scoutmaster.
Please check with Jim Baughman on status of your
son's Scout Account.

you must go to the website and re-register your Kroger Plus Card again for the
upcoming year – between now and May 1st. The web address is www.krogercommunityrewards.com

than it is. If you have any issues give me a call and I will help. If you have
