A NOTE ON FUNDRAISING

The troop will be scheduling fundraisers on a regular basis throughout the year to: (1) eliminate dues arrearages; and (2) offset pogram costs. The goal is to make the boys responsible for the costs of their activities, particularly summer camp and Philmont. To date, we've had several car washes, a Chick Fil A Spirit Night and popcorn sales. We'll be selling the council camp card at various Publix locations  beginning in February.  Funds raised from these activities are apportioned by event participation.
