Tuesday night Popcorn is due and is elections!

Parents and Scouts:

Happy Halloween!

I hope all are safe tonight on the ghoulish quest for treats…. 

Don’t forget tomorrow night we MUST get all popcorn forms and unsold popcorn product back to the troop.  Plan to get this turned into us, and don’t forget to decide on your prize if you have sold enough to earn one.  We will fill any orders possible and then other will be filled later.  See the info below about popcorn as well from Mr. Liggett…. 

AND – Tomorrow night is our Troop elections for SPL and PL’s  Please be present and make your vote count!  If you are interested in running for a position – WE NEED YOU!  Help us continue to represent the troop as best we can!  We will give you a chance to talk to the troop and explain how you are going to be that "guy" for the troop.

See you all tomorrow night.


Sincerely,

Kirk Bohanan

creek Sweep, Popcorn, Eagle COH, and service project

Parents and Scouts:

I wanted to let all know that we had a great turnout for the Creek Sweep and all that were there  - Job Well Done.  Thanks to all that were in attendance.  It really does make a difference.  Again – THANK YOU to ALL that Helped!

On to more news----

The popcorn sale is still going on and we hope our scouts are working to make sales.  This week at the meeting we have a contest to see who has sold the most “Muddpuddles”  Bring your order form to show your sales to me.  We have a Gift card for the winner.  If you need popcorn we can assist you tomorrow night at the church from 7:00-7:30 PM.  Wade Lunsford and Eric Liggett will be there to check out popcorn. On Tuesday it may be difficult to get this done, so please try to attend on Monday if you need any popcorn products.  Sale will end on November 1.  Get out there and well!!!!

We also have an Eagle Scout Court of Honor next Saturday at 2 PM at the First Presbyterian Church.  Please plan to come and be there to recognize Alec Thomas for his accomplishments.  I NEED HELP with this ceremony.  Please talk to me on Tuesday if you can assist. [both scouts and adult leaders needed]

And last but not least, I have a need for two scouts to help assist in a service project next Saturday morning.  We have about 5 bags of mulch to spread and some weeds to take care of for one of the church members.  We will plan to meet at the church on Saturday morning 10/22 at 8:30 and will be done by 11:00 am at the latest.  Please let me know if you can assist.
