Other Important Information. -

Stories- None? Where are the articles from our Scouts working on the Communications Merit Badge?

We are Troop 406, a uniformed troop. There may be a surprise uniform inspection at any time. The Patrol with the highest score will win a prize, maybe even a trip to Nelson's Ice Cream. Once re-chartering is completed your new membership cards will be distributed. The membership card is part of your uniform. It is advised that you laminate your card as Mom's washing machine will turn it into a useless white lump. Council will NOT reissue a new card until the next re-charter. If you joined after re-chartering, see the Scoutmaster for your temporary ID.

Save your Redner's Tapes to support the troop (you need to use a Redner's Card). Mrs. Kennedy will collect them and answer any of your questions. As of March 11, 2010 it is my understanding that our Scouts and families have turned in enough tapes that Mrs. Kennedy will be making the first submission for funds! THANK YOU ALL!

Bring your empty ink jet cartridges for donation, Mr. Miller tells us that the used cartridges have earned us over $500.00! Probably $1000.00 by now!

Yours in Scouting, Mr. Reppert, Scoutmaster Troop 406
