HEALTH FORMS from summer camp are now on file for the next 7 months. If you did not go to summer camp you should have at least Part A and Part C of the New Health Form submitted to the troop. [Part B is the visit to the Doctor’s office]. This is important information that we take on our outdoor outings in case of an emergency. Please help us by getting this information into the Troop.

Please note - For those interested, Dr. Ron Routh will be holding a Physical clinic for the troop later this spring. More details on this later...
9. Kroger Plus Program changes for 2013
The Kroger Company is changing the way they report back to non-profit organizations who are participating in the Community Rewards program. They will only give a total amount that the troop has earned during a particularquarter and include a check with that statement. This is due in part to privacy concerns that they have with the program. This means that the troop can no longer identify who is giving to the troop and individual scout account entries can not be made. Although the scouts will not gain individually from your continued participation in this program, the troop will benefit and we still encourage your annual registration each year [in May] to allow this funding to help our troop. If you have individual questions on this program please let me know.
