As we get near the end of the school year, and move toward summer camp at CRK, we ask you to check in on your scout account and make sure to settle your accounts and make payments in preparation for summer camp.  There are a growing number of active scouts who's scout accounts have gone into negative balance.  Please check with Jessica Norsky (pjnorsky@gmail.com) on the status of your account. 

The Spring Court of Honor will be held on Wednesday 5 June in Conjunction with the Troop end of School Year Picnic.  

More information will follow from the end of May PLC, but the Troop typically provides the main protein (burgers and hotdogs), and asks scouts and their families to bring a side dish.

SSUMC needs some helping hands next Saturday, 11 May from 9:00-11:00am to dig up some ground in front of the church and plant new rose bushes.

Mr. Al Dunham, the Troop's Charter Organization Representative will organize.  We need several scouts who can help, and at least one more adult.  Look for a Sign-Up on the Troop calendar for Saturday 11 May.

Interested Scouts looking for conservation related service hours may want to look into this opportunity:

Don't forget, Feed the Homeless this coming Monday. 

On every month with five Mondays, Troop 1131 and SSUMC support a feed the homeless session at Saint Stephens.  The First Shift, from 4:00pm to 6:00pm helps organize, sort and prepare the food.  Second Shift comes in at 5:30pm and works until complete (usually 7:30pm), to deliver the food.  First shift needs mostly helping hands (Scouts), while second shift needs helpers and drivers (parents).  Sign up if you can.  Scouts earn service hours, two hours for each shift.
