Wreath/Popcorn Money Collection
We are wrapping up wreath sales and popcorn sales, please bring what money you have to this Monday’s meeting. In the interest of safety, if your parents can write a check for the cash, that would be great, that way you are not walking around with a wad of cash and we don’t have a bunch at the end of the night too. We only have two meetings in December, let’s get this wrapped up before we break for the holidays. Credit cannot be distributed to everyone until everyone has turned in their money, don’t be the one holding up that distribution.
Friends of Scouting
Every year the Friends of Scouting come and do a presentation to the Troop to financially support things like our camps and service centers and the operations of Scouting in the area. We will have a presenter at the Court of Honor this Monday with all the details, so please donate generously.
Upcoming events

Troop Survey
Occasionally, it is important as a Troop sit down and look at ways to improve. We want to gather info and opinions of the membership to see what we can do to make things better for all. PLC wants to improve the quality of meetings, it is important we do what interests our membership, it is important we get that input from the scouts. We want to make sure the program, in general, is what parents want. We want to continue to strive to make Troop 161 the best Troop in town. We have created a survey so we can gather this information, we are going to require EVERY FAMILY to complete the survey. Do it more than once, surveys are free, so scouts can fill one out, each parent can fill one out, that is fine. We want your feedback, it is a tool for us to make the Troop that best fits our membership. If the survey does not communicate your thoughts, feel free to add more, send a separate note, what ever it takes, but we want YOUR input. Scouting is a community project, we need the input from our scouting community to make it successful. PLEASE fill out a survey and be part of its success. There are two ways to complete a survey, the first is ONLINE at https://goo.gl/forms/Df1OYSmToD5TVlm02 or we will have paper copies available at the Court of Honor.
Don’t forget, next weekend (December 8th) is the basketball game at Carthage, meet at St. Rita at 4:15 Saturday evening In Class A uniform, we will be stopping somewhere for pizza before the game, be sure to bring money for that as well as snacks.
