Dear Parents and Scouts:
Here is the Newsletter
for June. I have a couple of other attachments as well.
1] Merit Badges that are
going to be offer at Summer camp this year. Scouts need to select the
ones they wish to work on and let me know so I can print up their Blue Cards
for those merit badges. Some of these will have pre requisites that are
needed to be completed prior to camp. See that list also attached.
2] Parents wishing
to go to camp this summer need to let me know. If you want to spend all
week or just a day or two we can use you. I like to have 6-8 adults at
camp to help assist the scouts throughout the week. If you plan to go,
you will need to get a physical to attend.
3] I have attached infoabout the TAG sale that we will have next fall. let me know if you have
any questions.

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, 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.
