Adult Coordinators Needed

What’s the job of the adult coordinator? To help the scout that’s coordinating the outing: offering suggestions for campgrounds, keeping on-top of the scout to make sure tasks are done, making reservations since most places will not accept a youth doing so.

Money from the sale is due back at the December 13 Troop Meeting. It can also be dropped off at ETC at any time before then. Please consider dropping money off early -- the Troop must pay the Council on December 5th and that way you don’t have cash/checks floating around your house.
