Many thanks to the 17 scouts (and parents) who have sold popcorn so far this season! 

We still have plenty of popcorn to sell! We returned about 1/3 of our original order based on sales so far and the remaining season. Our goal is to sell everything remaining to avoid having to buy it ourselves from the district. I have reserved shifts for most weekends, now added to the Calendar. Please consider picking up and hour or two or selling in your neighborhood door-to-door.

Locations and times are subject to change as reservations may be released by other troops. Note that if shifts are not filled at a location, we may release those shifts to others. Keep an eye on Facebook for last minute additions each weekend if higher grossing locations become available. I check several times a week. 

If you haven't sold before, here's how it works:

We are already rolling into this new school and scouting year with our first campout and equipment shakedown completed last weekend. 

Please remember that:

• Payments for camping should be submitted prior to the campout.
• ATTN Grubmasters and Leaders: Receipts and reimbursement requests for grub and, where applicable, fuel are due the following Monday after the campout.

Last spring we began planning for next summer's high adventure trip. Two SeaBase crews were identified for summer 2025. 

Deposits of $150 were due last spring to reserve a spot. We will be reaching out to anyone who has not met this requirement to request payment asap. The troop cannot make payments per the BSA high adventure payment schedule without all scouts/leaders paying per our schedule. There are also other scouts interested and spots cannot be held without payment. 

The second payment of $600 is due 10/1/2024 for both the tall ship crew and Keys sailing crew. 

Many of you will be updating Medical Forms (in particular, Part C) in preparation for attending Summer Camp.  Here are some reminders:

• The Medical Form can be found online here.
• When bringing in your updated Medical Form, please bring TWO (2) HARD COPIES.  They do not both need to be originals; one can be a photocopy.
• Always retain a copy for your own records in case it is needed later.
• Please complete the Medical Form electronically (for example, in Adobe Acrobat Reader or Microsoft Edge).  Note that you can save the completed form to make future updates easier. 
• On Page A, both the Scout and the Parent must sign. 
• On Page B2, be sure to choose "yes" or "no" for OTC medication, and sign where indicated. 
• On Page B2, you must enter ALL the vaccination details on the form - you cannot attach additional pages. 
• A copy of your insurance card must also be submitted with the Medical Form.

Effective January 1, 2024, Scouts BSA discontinued the CyberChip program.  The Scout and Star requirements associated with CyberChip have been replaced with Personal Awareness videos.  These videos are required and should be viewed and discussed with a parent to satisfy the requirements.  The new videos can be found at https://www.scouting.org/training/youth/scouts-bsa/.
