A friendly reminder that SHIM Food Packing is this Tuesday 10-4-22 at 6:30 pm (before the troop meeting). A great way to earn service hours and help out CUMC by packing food that the church collected for SHIM.

Service Project Help Needed

Posted on Oct 2 2022 - 10:10am

Message:

Hello Troop! I've been in contact with the Abraham Lincoln Elementary School and they need our help. There's a nature trail on their property that needs some work. Our Troop constructed the trail years ago for them and it's gotten very overgrown. They're using it for a Halloween event on October 14th, so it has to be done before then. We've decided on Sunday October 9th at 1pm. If you plan to attend, meet us in their only parking lot. We'll need scouts and adults, gloves, weed whackers, a chain saw, and other handheld tools for work like that. If we work fast with enough people it should only take an hour.

I'll see you there!
