~ 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.
