The Five Guys Fundraiser is this Wednesday May 15. We need scouts to represent the troop. Need atleast two scouts to be there at any given time between 4PM and 7PM. We can split into 3 one hour shifts if that works. Remember that the troop gets 10% of all sales between 4PM and 10PM. Can the Senior Patrol leadership get this coordinated. Thanks.

Our troop will be holding a monthly food drive to supports the churches food bank. The church is very kind to our troop and we can give back to them in this way. Every second thursday (troop meeting) scouts should bring in food for the drive. The food item will be specific to the churches request. Next Thursday, Oct 13, the church would like us to collect caned tuna. No expired foods and the cans should have minimal dents in them to no dents at all.
