BBQ Chicken Dinner

The annual BBQ chicken dinner will be on Saturday, March 13, starting at 7:00am at the church. Everyone should by now have their tickets to sell indiviually. $1.00 out of the $6.00 that each of these costs will go to to scout's account. There will be a work day on Sunday, February 21 at 1:00pm for people to help repaint the sign. Help will also be needed on the day before the BBQ to help set up, and during and after the dinner. All scouts that help will get a portion of the profits in their scout account. Money will divided up by the number of hours worked by each scout.

Note: Extra tickets are available. Money from ticket sales is due 10 days before the dinner.

Ski Trip

Note: The ski trip has been delayed due to bad weather. Actually, relatively good weather, but that is the problem. =( A new day will be set soon.

The ski trip is coming up soon (2/13) and scouts need to make sure they have turned in their permission slip and money by February 11th. If you have lost your permission slip and you have a printer, you should be able to print this permission slip online.
