Any female parent is welcome to join (10 dollars a person)

I will need count and payment on Jan 2nd meeting.. (it has to be paid for by Dec. 31, 2010, I have sent off a personal check since we do not have a checking account for the scouts yet.)

The girls prepared for the experience last Sunday (rolled bags, worked on their list of what to bring)

Jan 2 we will work on the menu and Kaper chart for the camping trip..

Parents who want to come..
will participate in group Hikes with the older scouts
stay and work with the younger scouts (badges, and other GS things in the cabin)
Parents will stay in one room while the scouts have another.. (I will stay in the den area)

Till we get an account please make checks out to June Reid. (anytime anyone wants to see our budget I have it will be at the meetings)

Our Cookie Mom Ms. Smith will be going over cookie stuff in January at our meeting so we can start selling cookies January 7th. Help your child be successful with their sale.

Have a great Holiday and see you all next year.. as we get ready to start our camping adventure... hiking, firebuilding, group cooks, smores, etc etc . Lets learn lots of skills and have lots of fun.. Also, Maggie will be having a nail polish night for the girls (girls request)

TROOP SHIRTS

For those of you who know me. I  design (good or bad) shirts for softball, track, allstars you name it. So I was thinking when the scouts do something we don't have to wear our uniforms we can wear matching T-shirts with out troop number on them. Parents are also invited to purchase a t-shirt.

I am still waiting on the cost but unless you are getting a XXL or larger the price will be under 8 dollars I think.

Also, if you do not like the shirt design we can adjust it as well.

Junior level and up only

This is a wonderful service project. I am not available on Dec. 18th (since I have a personnal meeting) if you are interested in doing this please email Kyrie (she is a wonderful troop leader and very helpful). This would be a great project and some wonderful time for Mom and Daughter or Dad and Daughter..

Food is always needed at the CoOp, but they are asking for your time.  They need help sorting through the donations they have received this holiday season to prepare for the end of year inventory.

Dec. 18 from 8-12:00 (or anytime you are available between 8 and 12:00.)

We will be sorting, counting and moving inventory from the storage units into the main trailers.  Please dress appropriately.  Counting and Sorting will be indoors, but the "movers" will be transporting the boxes of food from outdoors to indoors.

.

Please email Kyrie at   kyriechewning@bellsouth.net    you are interested.  Because of the Christmas Season, we will only hold this work day if there is enough interest.

Sincerely,

Kyrie
