Troop 2 Holiday Party and Announcements

Tonight's meeting is our Holiday Party. Scouts should bring a $5.00 gift for the Yankee Swap, which should be scout related. No joke gifts are allowed. Bring a gift YOU would prefer to receive.

Scouts are also asked to bring a baked good or other tasty snack for the evening. Uniforms are not required - please wear a Class B Scout Troop T shirt (camp shirt)
We also have a special guest joining us for the meeting  who will tell us stories of his adventures since he was a Scout.
All monies for the Ski Trip ($135 for skiers, $35 for non-skiers) and all paperwork with parental signatures, details for rentals, etc  must be passed in at our meeting on 12/17. If you do not complete the paperwork and pass in a check your space is not reserved. There is a waiting list for this event.

There is no drum practice tonight.
