Then, that night... You get to plan 2018’s outings! The lock-in will run overnight with movies and games when not planning the calendar.

Service Opportunities

Highway Clean Up - 1 more this year after the Planning Lock-In

Swamp Fox Service Patrol - we’ll be doing this again this fall. Watch for dates when the weekend is finalized.

Troop Due Increase

Recharter is just around the corner and National has increased their registration fees. This means the troop needs to increase their dues to cover the increased cost.

Troop dues for 2018 will go up to $60 for the year.

We have not heard at this time if OA dues will be going up.

Scoutbook - Have You Logged In?

The troop transitioned to Scoutbook last year. You should have received an invitation from Scoutbook about accessing the Troop’s account.

What does this mean? You can edit yours or your scout’s profile information (address, phone numbers, school & grade) inside Scoutbook! You can also see where your scout is in his advancement and what he needs to work on.

This year with recharter, we will not be printing the personal data sheet -- you will be expected to go into Scoutbook by November 1 to update this information yourself.

Don’t have access? Can’t find the invitation email? See Liz.

Watch for a “Scoutbook FYI” session in October with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) access to talk about Scoutbook and walk you through accessing the features.
