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. 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.

than it is. If you have any issues give

Summer Camp 2015!
This year we will be going back to Camp Falling Rock in
Newark Ohio - June 28-July 4th.

$275.00. If parents or troop leaders
wish to go that is great. I look forward
to having 8-10 leaders in camp with our scouts.

will get you on our roster. There is no
charge for our adults going – the troop will pay your fee. Her is the summer registration

Forms from summer camp last year are now on file for the next 4 months. 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

on our outdoor outings in case of an emergency.
Please help us by getting this information into the Troop. As any
medications changes please update Part A of your son’s form. See the website for
a link to the latest revision of this form. Once you get this Medical Form updated, please
