Camp-out/activity chaperones – Each campout/activity requires a minimum of 4 registered adults in order for the activity to take place. Consider registering as a committee member and attend 1 or more activities throughout the year. This is a very important part for allowing our boys to participate in activities and campouts.

Troop Meeting Supervision – We would like to have at least 2 parents attend each troop meeting that can be an extra set of eyes, ears and hands if needed. If you are willing to coordinate the sign up or can stay for the meeting periodically, let us know.

If you have an idea that you think would benefit the troop, please contact Heather Ostrander or Scott Rutan. We are always open to new suggestions and help.
