Hello Scout Families! Our next camp out is scheduled for Nov 12-14 at
beautiful Silver Lake Park in Highland at the Jaycees’ Pavilion. Scouts
will return to Edwardsville for Scouting for Food bag distribution on
Saturday morning and then back to camp for lunch. Watch for more
information on the Nov 13 and 20 Scouting for Food activities in a later
email.

Due to these days of early sunset, we are proposing an optional earlier
departure on Friday the 12th. Those Scouts that can arrive at the church
at 3pm will go set up camp in the daylight while others may meet up at the
traditional time of 5pm at the church. We will need minimum 2-deep
adult coverage for each group, someone to pull the trailer at the
earlier time, and drivers for there and back, including on Saturday
morning, so parents, please consider signing up to camp the weekend or
drive.

The permission form is attached and may be turned in along with payment at
the next two Monday meetings. Turning in no later than the start of the
Monday Nov 8 meeting is very helpful for those planning transportation,
food and activities for the camp out.

If any questions or concerns please contact Scoutmaster Mark Mason
302.256.8597 or Diane Gill 618.616.6774.

Carol Klaustermeier in Troy, retired former co-owner (with her husband Ron)
of A&R Paints & Crafts, does BSA patch sewing out of her house now and
would be happy for more Scout business. I had Carol do some patch removals
and additions for my uniform recently, and she told me that most
people don’t know she still does it. I told her I’d spread the word
within my troop. I think herf rates are very reasonable ($1.50 for each
patch sewn on and 75 cents for each patch removed) and she typically can
turn around a ‘job’ in just a few days.

Here is Carol’s contact info and say hello to Ron if he answers the phone
or greets you at their house.

Hello everyone, as I announced at last Monday’s troop meeting, I’ll have another 180 meat sticks at this Monday’s troop meeting for any scouts that want more. As a troop we have already sold 270 meat sticks and I envision us selling at least 500 before school starts again in the fall.

See below email again for specifics about this fundraiser.

Thanks again,
