Schedule update and Registration dues

Please note that the schedule for the next couple of months has been modified. The Sweetwater Fall Camporee which usually falls in November was moved to October 24-26. This looks like a great event with a Truck and Tractor Pull  incorporated into the event. This will be located in White Plains GA, about 60 minutes from Monroe. Scouts have the opportunity to earn the Farm Mechanics Merit Badge if they wish. Registration is 15.00 per scout if confirmed by October 8. Please have scout bring checks to the Monday meeting, addressed to Troop 81. Late registration is 20.00. For some scouts this weekend will be the final weekend of their fall break.

The Backpacking trip originally planned for October has therefore been pushed back November 21-23.

Popcorn sales are ongoing. This can be a way for scouts to offset the cost of their activities while also raising money for the troop.

Our Scoutmaster Lee Jourdan is looking to confirm the end of the year court of honor location soon. The EMC location used last year was booked.

The Fundraising cookbook that the scouts voted to support does not have adequate input to procede. Please contact Ron or Virginia Yeater regarding contributing favorite family recipes for the endeavor.
