Troop Needs Help from the Scouts

The Troop is looking for Scouts to help with our Greens and Popcorn sales at the Church.

We have enough Scouts in the Troop, that we will only ask for everyone to commit to only one of the four weekends. Scouts that volunteer will receive an extra spiff towards their summercamp payment, that the Troop contributes. If Scouts volunteer for more than weekend, they will receive one spiff for every Shift they work.

The Hours we need the help is from 10:00a - 12:30. Most of the time will be waiting, as we need help before and after the Services. There will be donuts and coffee/hot chocolate provided. Mr. Smith will be there for the duration, however he is ushering, and will not be able to sit the entire time.

Please let Mr. Smith or Scoutmaster Fox know if you can volunteer. It will be a first come basis for time slots.

We are looking for 2 Scouts to work each of the next four Sundays: October 8, October 15, October 22, October 29
