Scouts the next two weeks 3/4 and 3/11 attendance to troop meetings is very important. We have OA elections on 3/4 and several scouts are up for election. We need scouts to attend so you can elect deserving individuals into the OA. OA elections are not a popularity contest, but a recognition of a scouts hard work and dedication to scouting.

Dear Scouting Families,

It is troop recharter time and with that comes troop dues! This year National BSA has increased scout dues again by $5 per scout and our National Capital Area Council has decided to add an additional $80 fee per scout. In years past, the Friends of Scouting campaign has filled in the funding gap for our council to operate sufficiently, but donations have fallen short in recent years. The troop committee has voted to cover this $80 fee for our scouts, but we are requesting that every scout participate in our upcoming fundraisers to replace those funds. Scouts can also join in selling popcorn and 100% of the portion that your scout earns in commission will be used as a credit towards his dues. We really want everyone to continue with scouting!

Popcorn Fundraiser

Troop 347 Families,

Our popcorn fundraiser has officially begun! This will be a great way for our scouts to interact with others while practicing entrepreneurial skills and setting goals. Not only are there incentives from Trail's End, there is also an opportunity for a percentage of the sales to go back to our scouts for things like dues, camp outs, etc. Since this is our first attempt at selling popcorn, we will only be selling virtually and wagon sales in person. We will not be setting up any storefronts at this time. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
