We will be starting our Spring merit badges Tuesday.  The meeting will begin at 7:00pm, as usual.

The next campout will be on February 4-5 at Camp Durant.  We need to know who is going camping by next week (1/24).

There is a Norther Tier meeting at the regular scout meeting.  Anyone going this summer should make plans to attend this meeting.  Also the next payment of $216 is due at the meeting.

A reminder that Scout Sunday will be celebrated at Epworth UMC on February 12th.  Everyone should make an effort to attend the 11:00am service to show our support for the parish.  

Kevin Peterson will be collecting recharter money at the meeting.  All adults listed on the roster will need to make sure that their Youth Protection training is up to date before I can turn in our charter.  Money is due by 1/31/2012.  The fees this year are $25 dues, $16 registration, and $12 for Boys' Life.  Boys' Life is optional.
