THIS WEEK – COMMITTEE MEETINGS

OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENTS OF THE SCOUTS

  • Troop 29 would like to invite every scout parent to get involved in support of the troop.
  • A wide range of opportunities exist, from Troop Committee Member to many, many other short-term roles to help the Troop.
  • This is your Troop, and we would like to give every parent the chance to be part of this great Troop.  We have a fantastic group of Scouts, we want to support them with an equally great group of adult leaders and volunteers.
  • One way to find out more about all the support roles is at our monthly Troop Committee Meeting.
  • This month the meeting is this Wednesday, November 7th.   You do not have to be a committee member to attend.  The Committee Meetings will enable parents to hear more about what the Troop is doing and learn what you can do to help our excellent scouting program at Troop 29.
