Boy Scout Troop 1001

Parents! Start off the scouting year informed and involved! We will have a parent meeting in Room 2 on September 1, Labor Day at 7:00pm sharp. Please ensure that an adult from each scouting family attends.

Agenda highlights include:

• A preview of the Patrol Leader Council's plans for the year. Put Troop 1001 on your family calendar!
• Slide and video presentations of the troop's high adventure activities at Philmont and Sea Base last June with Q&A regarding future opportunities.
• Introduction of the new boy leaders, explaining their positions of responsibility. We will do the same for the adult leadership and describe volunteer opportunities.
• Collection of dues for the 2008-2009 scout year. Dues are $120 per scout and are due by September 15. If making on time payment is a problem, please see the troop treasurer Terry Watts to make other arrangements. Financial hardship should never prevent a scout from participating.
• Updating medical releases and physicals. If your son recently had a physical for school, consider having his doctor sign off on Class 2 and Class 3 forms now and avoid the mad rush next spring.

The first Troop Committee meeting is set for 7:00pm Monday September 8. All further committee meetings are scheduled for the Monday evenings following the campouts. All parents and adult leaders are encouraged to attend.
