KNOCK KNOCK!
Scouts, Troop 874 is knocking on YOUR door! The troop is looking to elect a new Senior
Patrol Leader during the June 26 meeting.
Candidates are advised to speak with previous Senior Patrol Leaders to
get their opinions on the challenges and rewards of this premier leadership
position in Troop 874. They should also
plan on meeting with Scoutmaster Kevin McGovern before they consider running
for election. Knock Knock!
Summer Camp at
The troop annual summer camp from July 13 – 19 is drawing
near. Here are several important items
to keep in mind:
Rita Bietry reminds parents that
their scout's physical must be current.
Check with Rita during the troop meeting.
Also note that a scout's troop dues must be current if the
scout is attending summer camp. Scouts
should check the dues envelope distributed weekly to patrol leaders to confirm
if they are behind in their dues.
A two-page flyer was recently distributed on summer camp for
scout and parents. It includes info on
essential equipment, Mr Fleischmann's Top 10 List of
What Not To Do When Preparing Your Scout for Summer
Camp, and departure information. Contact
Doreen Klose or Jerry Fleischmann if you have
questions. The two-page flyer is
attached to these notes.

Although school is no longer in session, regular Troop
meeting will continue to be held every Thursday evening until the Troop attends

by the Troop leadership. These meetings
are particularly important in preparing for the numerous summer camps the troop
