Snack donations for the week!!!! Troop 48 likes to put out healthy snacks throughout the day as we have learned that our busy scouts need a little bit more than camp dining.

Parents of those working on Scout or Star ranks. They have a requirement which must have your involvement.  “With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide and view the Personal Safety Awareness videos (with your parent or guardian’s permission).”  The first item is a pamphlet found in the front of the scout handbook (or here). The second is on Scouting America. To communicate this completion, just sign and date the front cover of the pamphlet (or send a written message if it is missing).
