recharting, Annual Planning Conf. Jan 8 @BPUMC

So far only about 1/2 of our families have paid their dues for re-chartering for 2011..the fee is $30.00 for the Scout and $15.00 for a parent/leader...

if you are assisting the Troop as an active Assistant Scoutmaster, Committee member, or merit badge counselor..you have to register and be certified with Youth Protection..if you are a merit badge counselor for the Troop, you have to be annually certified also (YP is every two years).....You are probably listed as a Counselor and you can check that by going to the Troop Web Site and checking the merit badge counselor contact list. If you are not on it and should be..or would like to be ...please reply with the subjects you want to counsel with for the Scouts.

Please send your checks to Mr. Steve Frost in the next few days so the Troop can annually qualify as a "Quality Unit" in the District.

Please also plan on attending Leader training for Troop parents and leaders on January 8 at 1:00 PM, same place in the Bluff Park United Methodist Church vic the Gymnasium, for the Annual Planning Conference, w/Mr. Simon who will certify us with Youth Protection (YP) and Merit Badge Counselor in less than two hours.....The Scouts will also receive YP information during the day.

These dues and course are vital for the Troop....thanks in advance for helping out with your usual support.
