Troop News

Both the  Patrol Leaders Conference (PLC)  and the Troop  Committee Meeting were well attended. Thanks for your support and for encouraging attendance.

After a discussion of summer camp the following was discussed:

There are 32 slots available to the Troop  for the Philmont  2013 trip.   So far. we have that number plus some extra (2).

A non-reimbursable fee of $150.00 "per person" has to be mailed by July 1 to Philmont.  Please send the amount ($150.00)  to Mr. Branin  at his address: 534 O'Neal Drive, Hoover, 35226 or give it to him in person or during the meeting on Monday, June 25th.   He has to have it postmarked by July 1.... If he doesn't receive the amount by the 25th we will assume you have changed your mind about going. He will ask for $150 per month after that until the fee is paid, including meals and transportation to and from Philmont.   If we have over 32, we will place two or more on stand-by in case of drop outs.
