Please be on the lookout for a BSA Membership Renewal like this if you haven't already received it.
My understanding is Membership renewal will be completed by each individual family and the troop will not be involved in it like in the past

We need a volunteer to be Summer Camp Coordinator to collect and organize BSA medical paperwork among other paperwork as well as track and organize the Troop's payments for camp
Summer camp is Sunday, July 20th to Saturday July 26th, 2025.
First payments from the troop are due to the camp on Feb 1, 2025 (see below).
Also, the troop needs someone to step up and be the camping committee chair, at least for summer camp. This person gets all the medical paperwork together and tracks everyone's payments.
This is a Michigan Council camp, so campership assistance from council is available to offset camp fees for those families that can use some help. (https://michiganscouting.org/camping/camperships/ )

Unfortunately AL Gamrat is stepping down from webmaster next year (fall of 2024). Thank You AL for your service. The troop will be looking for a new webmaster and if that person could shadow AL to get an understanding of the week to week & month to month duties that would be in the best interest of the Troop.
