Troop 110 is NOT hosting a Parent Meeting on Sept. 29th.

You may have received an email announcing a Parent Meeting. The email was an error from another troop. They accidentally sent the agenda of their Parent Meeting to the wrong distribution list – some of us in Troop 110 are on that list.

However, the email did inspire Mr. Walsh to consider hosting a Parent Meeting for Troop 110. The possibility and specifics of our own Parent Meeting are being sorted out now. Stay tuned and we will let you know what comes of it…

Monday, May 16th is Troop Elections

Please Note:

• All Scouts should wear Field Dress Uniform (Class “A”)
• Run for a troop position that interests you
• Any Scout can run for most positions
• First Class is minimum rank to attain senior positions (SPL, ASPL, Scribe)
• Summer Camp attendance is required for the SPL and/or ASPL

Due to FCAT Exams, the Monday, April 11th meeting will end around 8p. Providing of course that the menus for the upcoming camping trip are wrapped up quickly.

This is to give our scouts plenty of opportunity for sleep and to prepare for their exams. Good luck boys!

ATTENTION!!!
