– May 11 – Spring Court of Honor – Invest in Character Presentation – Owasippe Fees Due

The May 11 Troop meeting is our Spring Court of Honor. The Scouts will be acknowledged for rank advancement and will receive the merit badges they have earned since last fall. It is important to the Scouts that they have at least one family member present to celebrate their accomplishments. Please plan to attend!
Also, that night there will be a presentation from the Pathway to Adventure Council about making a contribution to Scouting in the Chicago area.
May 11 is also the date that final payments are due for Owasippe. The Troop must make its final payment by May 15th in order to avoid late fees. We will send out instructions about making the payment through GiveCentral next week.

– Troop Car Wash – Saturday, July 11 – It’s An All-Skate! – Mark Your Calendar!

Please mark your calendar for the annual Car Wash in the parking lot at St. Juliana. The proceeds from the Car Wash stay entirely in the Troop and help us offer no-cost or reduced cost outings and activities.
We hope that Scouts AND their families will come out to help. One morning of working together on a common goal has proven to be very successful and very unifying for the Troop. The people of St. Juliana have always been incredibly supportive of the Troop for this fundraiser.
Mark your calendar and there will be more information coming out in future newsletters.
