This week, we will assess where we are in our current rank requirements so we can all try to “rank up” for the Spring Court of Honor.  This will include completing requirements where possible, and setting goals for those requirements that need to be completed outdoors or at home.  Scoutmaster Conferences will be available as needed.

So, BRING YOUR HANDBOOKS!

OUTING INTEREST SURVEY!

We’ll conclude with a slideshow overview of upcoming winter events to help you organize your plans for this month and early next year.  We’ll also decide on the January outing based on your interest.

Scouts & adults are needed for our annual s’mores tent at Riverside’s Holiday Stroll Friday, December 6. We provide ingredients and a campfire to roast marshmallows and make s’mores. We do not charge for the s’mores, but collect a free-will offering that will go to the Riverside Presbyterian Church mission ministries. Because the donations collected will go to help those in need, service hours will be given. We will be located at Riverside Garage, always a popular location due to their train set-up. One-hour shifts are available starting at 5:00 p.m. We need two adults and three or four scouts per shift.

Reminder – it is time to renew your BSA scout membership. The cost for 2020 is $90 per scout. The increased amount is a result of higher fees our troop must pay per member to the BSA National and Council Offices. Please pay online as soon as possible. If you are unsure if you paid already, you can check our Upcoming Events page for your name.

Pay Scout Dues HERE

In the past Troop 24 has subsidized the cost of BSA dues for our adult volunteer leaders. A fee is required for each member, including our Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmasters and Troop Committee Members. This is a considerable cost to the troop. Please consider making a donation to our troop, so we can continue to subsidize our leaders who volunteer so much of their time. Thank you for your support of Troop 24!
