Take-down Form

Scouts & adults are needed for our annual s’mores tent at Riverside’s Holiday Stroll on Friday, December 4. We provide ingredients for strollers to roast marshmallows and make s’mores. We do not charge for the s’mores, but collect a free-will offering that goes to the Riverside Food Pantry. We will be located at Riverside Garage, always a popular location due to their train set-up.

The 5:00-6:00 shift is full, but we still need scouts and adults for 6-7, 7-8, and 8-9.
We also need a few people for set-up (4:00) and take-down (9:00). We need two adults and three scouts per shift. Our leaders for this event are Jim Fedorski and Noretta Griffin.  Questions should be directed to fedrockus@yahoo.com.

Please sign up here.

Join Troop 24 on Saturday & Sunday, January 9-10 for Luging at the Winter Sports Complex in Muskegon, Michigan.

Participants will be staying in a hotel on Saturday night.  Once the Luge sign-up closes and we have a final count of scouts, we will make hotel reservations.  Boys will stay in rooms of 4 scouts. The cost of the hotel, food, and transportation will be calculated and attendees will be asked to pay the remaining expenses by January 3.  (Preliminary estimate of additional expenses is ~$60/scout).

Adults and Leaders sign up here  (we need 4-5 leaders/adults)

Registration will close on December 4.  Contact Dawn Gmitro with questions.

The track provides an Olympic thrill with the safety of the participant in mind. Top speeds of approximately 30 mph are possible from the public start area located about 3/4 of the way up the track.  The 850’ track was designed by three-time Olympian Frank Masley and consists of six curves and two starting areas. Coaches are on hand to teach and assist both beginners and those who have slid before.  Scouts will have a 2.5 hour session, which will include a lesson/coaching.

Boys will need to be able to carry a 25-40 lb sled up [lots of] stairs to starting area.
