Cburg Boy Scout Troop 145

Troop 145 Scouts spent $120.00 to purchase 150 food items from Dollar General for the Montgomery County Christmas Store DG Employee Elaine greeted the Scouts and always asks to work a shift during Troop 145s visit because she admires their shopping skills. Then, Troop 145 worked to unbox, sort, count and box food inside the Christmas Store.

The St. Paul United Methodist Men President has requested URGENT assistance by Troop 145 Boy Scouts TODAY. They need help loading and unloading a trailer with items for the Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program Wrapping Booth. This is annual holiday fundraiser.

When? TODAY
Where? St. Paul UMC Activity Building
Time? 5:25 PM

The UMM will gladly purchase a Jimmy John’s sandwich for any Scout who helps since this service will occur before tonight’s Troop Meeting at 7:00 PM. Scouts can just walk over to the Dollar General after this provided supper.

Please call 540-320-1591 ASAP if you can help.

Reminder: Tonight is the last night to sign up for the Lion’s Club December 1-2 shift to earn $10.00 per hour, which helps with Troop dues and fees. VT MB College Sign-up ends tonight in person or my email on Tuesday at noon.
