RECHARTER INFORMATION Recharter is upon us once again. This year the fees have gone through another increase to incorporate a fee increase from BSA. For a scout the fee is $200 and for adult is $50 (if you are CPR trained then the fee is $25 – CPR training lasts for 2 years). Registration fees are due by October 22nd so we can register the Troop In time for next year.
If you have scout funds that you are wanting to use to pay towards registration then you need to contact Elia Mouchawar emouchawar@hotmail.com to request a scout funds release form to perform this request.
You can pay this online at https://squareup.com/store/troop499
We also need to ensure that all adults that are registered are to be trained as an ASM (which has no expiry date) and have their YPT training completed yearly 0 this should be completed now (before November) before the recharter. Any training questions you can direct to Claire Boylan ecboylan@sbcglobal.net
There are also background checks that need to be completed yearly, and SM Mary Ostlund has this information that she will have at Tuesdays meeting. There was an informational email sent out from SM Mary Ostlund on Monday.
Any questions, then please ask either Vicky Jeffries or Mary Ostlund.
