Scouts BSA Troop 108, Fort Mill, SC
Scouts wanting to participate in the Scouting For Food bag distribution on October 30th should gather at the Scout Hut at 8am. Dress warmly because we will likely be walking the Whiteville Park neighborhood behind the Scout Hut distributing our bags.
Food pickup is the following Saturday, November 6th, beginning at 9am at the Scout Hut.
This is an excellent chance to earn needed service hours for rank while helping those in need in our community.
Camden C. is working on Emergency Perpardness merit badge, and as part of that merit badge he has to do a simulated emergency notification to our members.
All scouts reading this message should report to the front steps of the scout hut just before 7:00 PM on Monday, October 25, 2010 instead of reporting to our regular location.

In the past the troop has collected the annual dues for each scout in January of each year and has extended “credit” to scouts who did not pay their dues in time. Sometimes that scout never returns and the troop is “out” the money it has paid on the scout’s behalf. This practice will end as of 2010.
Beginning this year, any scout who has not paid his dues by December 31st WILL NOT be included in the list of scouts on the following year’s charter. If that scout pays late, he will be required to fill out an application to rejoin the troop (all work toward merit badges and ranks will be retained for the scout when he signs back up with the troop).
Please make it your goal to have your 2011 dues paid no later than the Winter Court of Honor on December 13th this year, if possible.
Troop adult and youth leaders recently went through the list of scouts on our charter and moved some scouts around to make sure that all scouts are members of active patrols. This process also helped in the effort to prepare the troop for 20+ Webelos II scouts that will likely be joining the troop in the early spring of 2011.
New patrol leadership has been or will soon be elected and trained and the troop as a whole will continue to run smoothly under the leadership of our scouts with direction from our adult leaders.
