Troop 81

Important Meeting Monday Sept 25

Elections for Senior Patrol Leader and Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. Please try to attend to pick good leaders for the next 6 months. Leadership roles are needed for rank advancement.

Mr Thompson and Ms Elaine will be present to help go over advancement requirements. Bring needed materials and books.

Planning for Sweetwater camporee will begin. This is November 3-5 and will involve building a Pumpkin Chuncker. Basically a catapult type device to hurl a 10lb pumpkin as far as possible.

October 28 Chicken BBQ. Tickets are available for pickup and sell. This is our only fundraiser of the year and raises money for activities and supplies. These funds helped cover half the costs of our recent caving adventure. We don't sell popcorn and dues do not cover all the costs of running the troop. All the Scouts are expected to sell at least 10 tickets each, hopefully more.

Recruiting- Younger scouts are encouraged to invite friends from school, church or neighborhood to visit and consider joining our troop. We need new young scouts. They are encouraged to attend upcoming camporees in November and December.
