The following scouts owe money to the troop:
Donovan, James = $35
Estrella, Andre = $7
Hamilton, Cody = $10
Hess, Alex = $25
Nowosielski, William = $11
Ramos, Justin = $1
Scully, Sean = $5
Struhar, John = $10
Walker, Pete = $5
Wolff, Adi = $4
Wolff, Oren = $4
This money was from scout activities that were charged to your account for various things like overnights. You will receive funds back into your accounts from the Carousel Cakes and wreath sales. However, this is what is owed to the troop currently. The more cakes, pies and wreaths you sell, the more money goes into your account. If you don’t sell the wreaths, you will owe $25 to the troop.
Mr. Pakula wanted me to mention to you all to start thinking about summer scout camp at Ranaqua. Before you know it, August will be right around the corner. Also, if any family feels that they would be unable to pay for scout camp (approx $350), please come to me in private or to Mr. Pakula or Mr.Campanella. The troop’s message is that no scout should be turned down for scout camp. There would be assistance available for the trip, if needed.
My final message of the night is directed to the scouts that left the meeting early tonight and didn’t check in with me. I realize some of you had homework but the meeting is from 7:30-9:00pm, not 8:30 or 8:45. If I’m there and I decided to just leave the meeting early and not tell anybody, what kind of example would I be setting for the troop? Even worse, if everybody had that mindset, what kind of troop would we be? Please be more considerate, not only to myself and the other leaders, but to your fellow scouts. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540
