You should be well into collecting orders for our annual Fruit Basket Fundraiser by now. For many years, we've partnered with wholesaler Keany Produce to create and sell fruit baskets to help alleviate our operating costs. In 2019, we joined forces with Troop 876 for this event.

Harrison Shaw’s Eagle Court of Honor will be on November 16th from 2:00-4:00pm at Wesley UMC. Please RSVP here: https://pp.events/aj57o1Om . Please sign up to help here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094AADAB2EA0F5C61-52086483-harrison. Refreshments will be served after the ceremony. Dress code is full class A.

Save the date. Our annual Scouting for Food flyer distribution will be Saturday Nov 2 from 9:00 - 11:00 am. The more Scouts we have the quicker we can cover the River-Side community. Adult drivers are also needed. Food collection will be two weeks later on November 16. An email with all the details will be sent out.

The third Philmont payment was due Sep 23. Please pay $450 by Check or PayPal. We need to collect these funds to be able to make a mandatory payment to Philmont at the end of September. Additional payments will be due as follows: $500 by 1/27/25; $500 by 2/24/25; $500 by 4/7/25; and remaining balance after trip.

The Troop is looking for an adult to lead our Recruiting efforts with the local Cub Scout Packs and schools. A Committee Secretary to take notes at the Committee meetings and to help with some of the administrative tasks is also needed. If you are able to help out, please contact the Committee Chair Tom Cross at tcc82ag@aol.com
