This week our treasurer, Iain Baird, will be providing for each scout a “Troop Invoice” that will contain rechartering fees, fund raiser incentive credits and offsets.   If you are able, for those scouts that have an amount due to the troop, please provide payment to Deb Ryan by January 25th.   If this timing is difficult,  just let Deb know.

We are introducing a new look for Troop 29 as we enter into the new year!  The troop will support the cost for 1 Class B and Hat for the scouts and registered adult leadership.   Any additional Class B and hats will cost families $10 each.   If the families can identify the sizes and amounts by Jan 18th we can put in the order before the end of the month.   Sign Up Here
