Troop 4 Grapevine, Texas   Troop 4 gratefully acknowledges the contributions of its Adult Leaders who make our activities possible.

January 6, 2010
 
Everyone,

Several of the adults were talking at the meeting Monday night and it was decided that the price of the Electronics Campout/Open House should be reduced to $10. The only cost we will have is for food. If you have already paid $25, please send a note to Mrs. Glen and work out a refund or applying the funds to another event. If you haven't paid yet, this event now shows up under Other Activity in the online payment page. Those that are attending should be at the church at 6:00 PM on Friday, everything should be done about noon on Saturday.

I haven't heard from anyone on teaching classes for merit badge college. Please send me a note if you were planning on teaching a class. We need to have the scheduled finalized by the next meeting so that we can announce it and the scouts will have time to find the needed merit badge books.

The elections for the Order of the Arrow are scheduled to be held on Monday, January 18. I will confirm the date this Thursday. We do need to have at least half the troop present to have the election, so please plan on attending. OA dues for current members will be collected at the same time and new membership cards will be issued. The cost for 2010 is $10 per person.

THANKS!
