Hello Scouts and Scouters!
As discussed in the last meeting, we have some fun camp opportunities coming up. You can't have Scouting without "outing", so let's get out there and camp!
A gentle reminder from your Treasurer: Your Scout account needs to be paid up before you register for camp. If you have a negative balance, please email the Treasurer (troop1.mpls.treasurer@gmail.com) to top off your account. If cost of camp is an issue, camperships are available. The Troop supports camperships for all Troop 1 events, and Council offers financial support for any Council-organized camps like Snow Base and Summer Camp.
Troop camperships are supported by fundraising. For those who do not need financial assistance, please remember that keeping your Scout account paid up helps the Troop afford to assist those in need.
