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.
6. Order of the Arrow Members
