04/19 – Mid-Month Newsletter

December 09, 2019

• We officially have the first EVER Scouts BSA Girl Troop in the Shawnee District! Troop 4022 is sponsored by Grace United Methodist Church. Rhett Hendrickson is the Scoutmaster. Welcome to Scouting, Troop 4022!
• Reminder of fundraising guidelines and policies:
  • Every unit conducting a fundraiser must submit a Unit Money-Earning Application for approval by the chartered organization and the council prior to holding the activity. <Click Here>
  • A few items to point out on the application: The fundraiser cannot be held during the same time as a Council fundraiser is occurring. Any fundraising project designated to benefit chartered organization units, districts, local council, or on a national basis which involves games of chance, lotteries, sale of raffle tickets, bingo, or could be construed as a gambling activity, is not permitted. For example, cake raffles are not allowed but cake auctions are OK. Youth members in uniform in the name of Scouting may sell tickets for such things as pack shows, troop suppers, circuses, expositions, and similar Scouting events.
