Quick Notes

v Attention parents. We are in need of help with numerous jobs to help keep the Troop running smoothly. There are many Committee Members with multiple jobs. Pleas consider Ed Schenk’s request for help.

v Make sure you give Mr. Andrzejewski all merit badge advancement cards for the badges you have completed. You will not receive credit for the badge if he doesn’t receive the blue advancement card. Call Mr. Andrzejewski about any merit badge questions. There is a new district Merit Badge Counselor list. Please check with Mr. Andrzejewski for the current counselor names and phone numbers.

v Sign-up sheets for upcoming trips are on the bulletin board. Sign-up early so we can make arrangements. Check with your parents and sign-up only for the trips you will attend. Remember, driving parents are always welcome. Without them – we don’t go.

v Our returnable bottle and can fund-raiser is always on. Bring deposit bottles and cans that you have hanging around to the Troop Meetings. Remember to put your name in or on the bag so you will get credit for it.

v Our Troop website has been moved and updated, so check it out: https://troop332bsa.tripod.com/troop332

v Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!!
