• Troop Fundraiser: 2016 Conquistadores Charity Car Raffle

Get your tickets this Thursday!

This is a great opportunity for our Troop! The boys are needing new tents, cooking equipt., and the trailer needs repairs. Lets make this happen! Plus half the earnings from each ticket go into your scouts campership!

Scout participation is required, each scout sells 5 tickets at $10 per ticket, more would be great but 5 is the min. If fundraising isn’t for your family you may buyout at profit level ($40), sales begin on March 10th, final money/buyout due no later then May committee meeting.

* Make sure Troop 747 is written on the back of every ticket you sell! The group selling the winning raffle gets a bonus of $500.

• Scout camper parents: GrubMoney

At the last committee meeting, the troop SPL and Scoutmaster addressed the issue of grubmaster funds. In order to assist the Scouts to purchase food for campouts, grub money will be due for those signed up the week before a campout. Please send in $15 grubmaster money.
To help everyone remember, it is listed on the calendar and in the weekly email. Food planning and budgeting will be accomplished the week before campouts most months. Those signing up for camp the Thursday of camp week or not bringing food monies the week before may need to provide their own food for campout. The boys are now in charge of tracking funds in their grubmaster books and preparing a list of meals and food. The goal is to help the boys plan an organized camp with the tools and funds needed to purchase food in a timely manner. On that note this week is grubmaster week. The Scouts appreciate your help.
Enjoy!Chris Durnan
