Hope everyone is having success with the sale of community service books. Sorry all, but when I told everyone the last turn in date was September 20th I did not realize at the time that we had no meeting that night. The NEW date to turn in proceeds and/or unsold books needs to be pushed up to September 13th. Please make note of this and if there are any problems or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at 704-236-2684. So sorry for any inconvenience this causes. Cindy Schnall As you know, the troops next Court of Honor is being held next Monday, August 30th at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary. In the interest of scout family fellowship, we would like to have some refreshments after the ceremony. If you can donate some cookies, brownies, etc., please let Cindy Schnall know at cyn93063@aol.com. Any baked goodie is appreciated! On a related note, we encourage all scout parents and family to attend Court of Honor. The boys work hard to achieve their rank advancements and merit badges, and we should show all boys our support by being in attendance. Please make every effort to attend whether your scout is being recognized that evening or not. A great amount of preparation goes into the ceremony and being in attendance shows gratitude to our leaders as well. Looking forward to seeing all on Monday night! Junior Leader Training will take place tonight for the following scouts:
Training will begin at 7pm and end at 9pm. No uniforms required. Please bring something to take notes on and to write with tonight. If you are having a BOR tonight, please come prepared and they will come get you when its time from JLT. If you cannot make it, please contact the Senior Patrol leader to let him know you cannot be there. In order to make this a success we need everyone to attend if possible. Please note that I currently have no more Community Service books on hand for scouts to sell. If you anticipate your scout needing more books, please drop me an e-mail at cyn93063@aol.com prior to next week so that I may obtain some more by court-of-honor on the 30th (we have no regular meeting tomorrow, the 23rd). I will not be picking up more books unless I hear from those directly that are in need of them. Please remember that all proceeds as well as unsold books are due in by September 20th, the latest. You may turn in proceeds at any time. Thanks! Cindy Schnall For the ones attending the campout this weekend: Make sure you bring closed toed shoes you can get wet and a change of shoes for the rest of the time. You will also need to bring along a change of clothes so you can ride back to camp dry. If you own a lifejacket please bring it along since the outfitter only has a limited supply on hand. He said he should be able to handle us but just case. Class “B” uniform. Meeting at 5:30pm and stopping for dinner tonight. The following Scouts and adults will be attending the August Campout scheduled for Friday, August 20th – Sunday, August 22nd.

On Friday, we will meet at 5:30pm and depart no later than 6pm. We will be stopping to grab dinner on the way to our campsite so please send some money along for your son(s). We will be traveling in Class “B” uniform for this camping trip. Scouts will need to make sure they bring their normal camping gear as ever other trip we take, plus the following items:
Troop will be stopping for lunch on the way home so please send proper funds. Troop will make calls to all parents as to what time to meet back at church on Sunday for pick-up of your son(s). Assuming no delays or incidents I would say close to 1pm. For those who took Community Service books, I hope you have had great success thus far! As a reminder, books will also be available for pick-up at the August 16th meeting whether you need more or are picking up for the first time. Also, money collected thus far may be turned in that night as well, you do not have to wait until September 20th to turn in funds. Please remember that we have no meeting on the 23rd, so if you need books please make every effort to pick them up this Monday night. An extra selling feature of the books are the on-line coupons. Every book has a number code on the back cover. Tell your customers to log on to www.communityservicebook.com and enter that number code. They can they access on-line coupons through the year as well. Gear day for Saturday, August 14th has been canceled and will be postponed till a later date. Final day to register for the August campout (tubing on the Green River Saluda NC) is tomorrow, Friday, August 13th by 9pm. You can online to the website and look under events to register. Remember your $10 for food is due on Monday night at regular troop meetings if you will be attending. Everyone: It is with great pleasure that we announce that Alex McGuffin successfully passed his Eagle Board of Review this evening and is Troop 502’s tenth Eagle Scout. Please join us in congratulating Alex. On Monday night, August 9th, we will be kicking off our Community Service book fundraiser. In years past, we have sold Citipass, but I have been informed by them that the “big dogs” like Bi-Lo and Home Depot have not renewed. Hence, we are trying to give this book a try.
I will hand out an informational sheet Monday, but just wanted to give you some highlights prior to that. Books are $20 each, with a flat $10 profit for each book sold. For every 5 books your scout sells, he receives the sixth one sold at 100% profit! For example, if he sells 6 books, he will receive $50 for the first 5 and then $20 for the sixth. Seventy dollars for selling 6 books is a pretty good deal! Sell 12 books, that’s $140 profit, and so on..
This fundraiser is open to ALL scouts, not just the Seabase crew. Please remember that the first obligation with your proceeds is dues payment ($225 due by December 31st), after that is fulfilled, then the money will be applied to summer camp, or to the high adventure trip.
Please take this opportunity to encourage your scout to give this fundraiser his best effort. If you have any questions, please call Cindy Schnall at 704-236-2684. Thanks!!
