This Weekend

We’re quickly coming up on what’s going to be a very busy — and hopefully very fun — weekend. This Friday, January the 13th, is the sleepover at the Church. If you are attending, we will be meeting at the church at 8pm — be sure to have some dinner before you come. Be sure to bring a sleeping bag, pillow, sleeping pad for the floor (the concrete floor is very hard and not comfy), and some basic toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.)

We will be leaving the next morning, Saturday, January 14th, at 8am for a day trip to Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Parents are welcome to join us for this excursion — just remember that we will be leaving from the church at 8am. Scouts will also need approximately $5 for breakfast at McDonalds on the way there. They will also need to have a bagged lunch for the museum, or bring additional money to buy lunch from the cafe in the museum. We will be back at the church and ready for the scouts to be picked up at around 6pm that Saturday. If you want to check out more information about the museum, here’s the web site: http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/index.asp.

Finally, on Sunday, January 15th, we will be performing a Pancake Breakfast fundraiser at the church. Scouts will need to be at the church at 7:30am, to help with the set-up, and we will begin serving after the church service (approximately 8:30am.) Be sure to be in your Class A uniform.
Scout Account Info
That should be all the details for this weekend — please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. If you sold popcorn this year, you can expect your scout account on the web site (http://www.scout533.com/scout-accounts-new/) to be updated with your share of the sales within the next couple of weeks — I’ll let you know when it’s all up-to-date. If you have just joined our troop this year, expect to receive more information about how the scout account works and a login/password to view your balance online within the next couple of weeks.
Dues
On another note, if anyone has not yet paid at least their $5 a month minimum dues, or has any questions about it, please contact our Treasurer, Beth Cheeseman.
