IT’S RECHARTER TIME!

Posted by webmaster on January 26, 2012

Thank you for being a part of Troop 16 and supporting Boys Scouts of America.   One of the ways you show your support is by annually renewing your membership in the troop and BSA by paying your recharter fees for both scouts and registered adults.  The recharter amounts are: $27 for first scout, which includes a yearly subscription to Boys Life magazine, and $15 for each additional scout and each adult.  In addition, all adults must have their current YPT on file. Please make sure you are not dropped from the roster.  The deadline to have all fees turned in and adult training completed is January 31st.  Thank you in advance for making sure the troop’s recharter process goes smoothly.   If you have any questions, please contact Deb Worby.  Again, thank you and Happy 2012!

Troop 16 is pleased to announce the newest member of a life time achievement, Eagle Scout.
On January 16th, 2012 Josh completed his final Eagle Board of Review to become our troops next and first Eagle Scout for 2012.
A rank statistically received by very few who enter scouting. Through countless hours of hard work and great fun, Josh has earned this great honor.
Josh knows that the time he has put into scouting to receive this rank was not earned alone. It also goes to the credit of parents, adult volunteers and fellow scouts that supported Josh to this day.
Thank you all and congratulations Josh.

PANCAKE SUPPER IS COMING SOON!

logo-for-website1The date of this year’s Pancake Supper fundraiser is Feb. 21.  All scouts need to participate by selling tickets and working the evening of the event!

This year the ticket prices and the structure of how many tickets need to be sold have both changed.  Tickets this year are a flat $5.00 per person.  Ticket sales requirements per family are: 1 scout=8 tickets, 2 scouts=12 tickets, 3 scouts=16 tickets, 4 scouts = 20 tickets.

Tickets will be sold at PUMC on Feb 5, Feb 12, & Feb 19.  Scouts can receive community service hours for helping with this.

We also need lots of adult help to make this fundraiser successful.

Tickets to be sold can be picked up and signup sheets for Sunday ticket sales and adult help will be available at the Winter Court of Honor on Jan. 31.  Be sure to come to the COH to pick up your tickets, signup to help, and learn more about this year’s event.  See you there!
