Get out and start selling your fruit and greenery this week… and don’t forget to wear your scout uniform!
Kyle Sink is looking for additional assistance to help setup for Trifles and Treasures on Sunday Oct. 5, from 4-7pm. Just meet at the Worthington United Methodist church if you are available to volunteer. This would be a great opportunity for scouts to earn additional service hours.

Cyber Chip certification is good for 12 months. Instructions for renewing the Cyber Chip can be found online at www.netsmartz.org/scouting.

Kickoff for the Fruit & Greenery and Popcorn sales will happen during the regular troop meeting on Monday, September 29th. Scouts and Parents – please plan to attend the meeting for all of the sales details and to pickup your sales packets. This is the best way to earn your fees for future campouts! We are aiming for 100% participation this year.
Cyber Chip
At the September 15th troop meeting, scouts will have the opportunity to learn about responsible use of digital technology, culminating in their earning the Cyber Chip. In order to earn the Cyber Chip, scouts should complete the following prior to this meeting:
Write and sign a personalized contract between the scout and their parent or guardian that outlines rules for using the computer and mobile devices, including what you can download, what you can post, and consequences for inappropriate use.
What: Be an actual Staff Member on this campout! You will assist at various stations helping Cub Scouts with shooting and other activities. This is what true Boy Scouts do — Service to others. So we need guys who 1) want to earn service hours, 2) want to camp and eat FOR FREE, and 3) want a FREE campout patch! Not to mention, who want to be BMOC – Big Man on Campout in front of the Cub Scouts!
Where: Camp Lazarus
When: We meet at the Church Friday, Sept. 26 at 6:00pm to load up, and leave soon thereafter. We return to the Church Sunday, Sept. 28 by 4:30pm.
Why: OK, I understand the need to ask? It’s because we pledge an oath every week that includes “help other people at all times”, remember that? Here is that time.
Cost: FREE — $0.00 — Covers transportation, food, lodging and a campout patch. WAIT! Did he say $0.00? YES! That means FREE!! We can’t even TRY to make this cheaper!
