Adult Committee
Please consider joining the committee or volunteering to help out with a specific task or activity as your schedule permits. Sometimes we need people to fill big important volunteer jobs like Committee Chair, Treasurer, Advancement Chair, Camp Coordinator, or Health Officer. Sometimes we just need somebody to make a good contact list of scouts in google sheets, or to help coordinate another activity. Teamwork makes the dream work, and every adult has something to offer. If you're interested in how you can help out, please attend the committee meeting this week or reach out to our committee chair, Quentin Randolph <bent_ear@comcast.net>. He'll also send you details for this week's meeting.
Also, you might just consider becoming a Merit Badge Counselor.
There are lots of Merit Badges and new ones being written all the time.
