Scouting is a program that functions best with parental support. I know everyone is busy. We really need some parents to step forward and participate. Currently too much of the troop program falls on the shoulders of too few people. Most of the available positions do not involve an overwhelming amount of time.

The following parental positions have been vacant for quite some time

• Treasurer - manage the troop checkbook
• Event Managers - Organize events, collect money, obtain permission slips and tour permits

Your son can attend the any boy scout summer camp he likes. Check out the list of summer camps for further details. Boys aged 13 years and older are encouraged to attend the high adventure Camp Floodwood . If your son is interested in attending Floodwood please contact your Scoutmaster ASAP.
