Wilderness Survival Trek - Phillips Pond - February 3-5 - Cost is $10 - Leaving Scout Hut at 5:30pm

 

Note to Parents about the Wilderness Survival Trek - Your child will be staying under the stars on that Saturday night. Make sure your child is prepared by having everything that he is supposed to have in his survival kit. He will only have his sleeping bag, 1 MRE, and a survival kit. He will eat breakfast Saturday morning, however after that... he will not eat again until Sunday when he gets home other than his MRE. This is the hard trip for the boys this year. Scouts... BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING!

 

Recharter is among us and we need your payment in January 19. Recharter fee is $15 per person.

Building Fund Goal For Our New Scout Hut!

$200,000

We are now collecting donations for our new Keith R Pry Memorial Scout Hut! Donations can be made to the American Legion Post 30 or BSA Troop 115. If you would like to donate to this cause, please click the .



Disclaimer:

The troop committee proposed and voted in a 20% recovery fee.  This fee will apply to all absences and cancellations of trip fees.  When fees are paid, the troop plans menus and spends the fee monies on groceries for the troop’s trip.  This 20% recovery fee will ensure that the troop does not lose money when there is an absence or cancellation resulting in a request for reimbursement of fees. This applies to everyone... leaders included!
