Monthly Dues: “A Scout is Thrifty…”
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, and also by Kroger
Plus purchases. Use Kroger Plus Card for your family
food purchases. A percent of your spending at Kroger on the Kroger Plus card
will go into the Boy’s Scout Account. The Scout Account can be used to pay for Summer Camp
fees, Monthly camp-out fees, Troop Dues, and Troop related expenses that are
approved by the Scoutmaster. Please note that the purchase of Personal Gear
is not an approved expense that your scout account will cover.
Please check with Jim
Baughman on status of your son's Scout Account.

5. BSA Health Forms
HEALTH
FORMS from Summer Camp are now on file.
If you did not go to summer camp you should have at least Part A and
Part B of the New Health Form submitted to the troop. [Part C is the visit to the Doctor’s office].
This is important information that we take on our outdoor outings in case of an
emergency. Please help us by getting
this information into the Troop. As any medications change please update Part A
of your son’s form. Please keep a copy of this form for your records - and in
case I misplace them.
6. Eagle Scout Update!
Troop
136 is proud to announce that Michael Shoultz and Brian Kuehne have completed
all requirements for Eagle Scout. Their Board of Reviews were completed and their
confirmation from Council has been received.
We will start to plan these Court of Honors so watch for updates as they
are rolled out.
7. Popcorn Sale
Update
The popcorn sale is completed and you should have received
your popcorn orders by now. If you have
not, please get them at our next troop meeting.
Plan to have the orders all out to your customers and money turned in by
