Highlights from last nights meeting:
~ They boys worked on organizing and learning the correct organization of the Troop Shed.

~ Tent rentals are still on the calendar.  Mr. Hill talked about the amount of interest from the scouts to help with the setting up/taking down the tents would help the Troop committee determine if and how much we would give to the Scout Accounts. (this is an easy way to earn money to help pay for summer camps and other activities)
~ Troop 603 has invited us to march in the Stevensville Memorial Day Parade on Monday.  Staging is at 10:30 at the Mickey Mouse house (corner of Kimmel St and St. Joseph Ave, across from Paparazzi Hair Studio).  They will walk to the cemetery by Meijer where there will be a Memorial service.  Scouts should dress in their Class A's.

Highlights from last night’s meeting:
~ Talked about Crop Walk.  Carly Hubers invited scouts to walk in the crop walk with the youth team.  It will be the one-mile loop and there is no fundraising involved because they have already met their fundraising goal.  If they have a team of at least 3 youths, then there is an anonymous donor who will contribute an additional $150!  If your scout would like to be part of the team, please email Carly.  Scouts should have brought a flyer home. 
~ New troop number patches are in.  Every registered person will receive 1 patch.  Any additional patches are only $6.00.  Please see Mrs. Marquardt for your patch.  Mr. Hill would like everyone going to Mackinac to have at least one of their shirts with the new numbers.
