Hello Troop 349 Ghouls and Goblins! @everyone
Tomorrow the Troop will install a collection box at Parish of the Holy Cross Church in Nesconset. We will be there from 9am-11am and while we are there we will be assisting Cub Scout Pack 57 with clean up around the church property. This is a great opportunity to earn community service hours for rank advancements or honor society.
Please bring rakes, gloves, wheel barrows and Scout Spirit! rmd.me/7mviKiSMGJK

Hello Troop 349! @everyone
Last night at the Troop Meeting we handed out the flyer for the Troop Holiday Wreath Fundraiser.
All Scouts will earn $5 in their Scout Account for every $50 sold. In addition, the Scout with the highest sales will receive a discount for the Whitewater Rafting Trip in June!
Last year, the Troop was able to offset the Troop Fees for Yawgoog due to the great fundraising efforts by the Scouts (parents only had to pay the Camp Fees). It would be great to see a repeat again this year!
Thank you to Mr. Bodor and Mrs. Ramchand for helping set up the Troop Fundraiser. All orders are due at the November 12 Troop Meeting. Orders will be available for pick up on Sunday November 30.
We will distribute again at the next meeting. If you need a copy before then, reach out and I will send a printable version. rmd.me/EIPRSfZEYQH
