It’s that time again—snow is on the ground, winter is here, and we’re looking forward to a great season on the slopes. Scout Nights will be held on two nights in December and two nights in February. The troop can pick one night in December and one in February. We will talk to the scouts on Thursday to gauge any interest in going.
Just a friendly reminder to bring dues to this Thursday's meeting if you haven't already. If needed, please contact Jeff Neill to make other arrangements. Annual dues (per child) for 2026 are $105, same as last year. Please add $15 if you'd also like to receive Scout Life magazine (optional). If your child helped with the Mulch and/or Chicken BBQ fundraisers, you may reduce the amount owed by $30 per each fundraiser they volunteered for. Checks may be made payable to "Troop 134." (Please expand post to see list of payment amounts)
