4. 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.
