Junior Leadership Training 1/14

All Scouts are encouraged to participate in Junior Leadership Training this Saturday, January 14 at 9:00 a.m. at Sorrells Spring Church.  All newly elected Patrol Leaders are required to attend, and all Scouts who are seeking leadership appointments for rank advancement are strongly encouraged.  The training will be beneficial to all Scouts. This will be a full day session.

Sorrells Springs Church is located north of Monroe on Bold Springs Road, just past James Powers Road.  If you reach Carl Davis Road, you have gone too far.  A Google Map is linked here: Sorrells Springs Church. This is the church where we met to construct the trebuchet for Pumpkin Chunkin' last fall.

Lunch will be provided by the Troop.  Scouts should bring a filled water bottle.

Please Pay Annual Dues at January 9 Meeting

Annual dues are due at the January 9 meeting.  Dues are $60 for the year and should be paid to Mrs. Elaine.  Checks should be made to Troop 81.

Do You Need Service Hours?

Scouts who need service hours for rank advancement can take advantage of a service opportunity this Saturday, December 17.   Empty Stocking Fund of Walton County will be distributing food boxes to the needy and are asking for volunteers.

Volunteers will be packing boxes, loading trucks and delivering boxes to the homes of the needy. An adult will need to participate with their Scout.

To participate, go to the National Guard Armory on Washington Street (east of the Post Office) in Monroe at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday.  Be sure to wear your Class A Uniform.

This is an individual activity.  Other Scouts from our Troop may be there to participate, but we are not attending as an organized group.  Please be sure your parents understand that this will NOT be an activity supervised by the Troop.
