It's also handy for our Troop's Christmas party where Scouts often exchange gifts. We'll be doing the same thing this year and ask Scouts to keep the gift Scouting or camping related with a no more than $10 price tag.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since he couldn't be with us on Tuesday, Don also included a 20% off coupon for one regularly priced items in his store. If you are thinking of buying something like boots, a backpack or sleeping bag, this could come in handy.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Village Outdoor also offers a special Boy Scout advancement program when Boy Scouts are awarded new ranks.<br /> </span></span></p> <hr> <!-- begin feed_subscription_form_widget.tmpl --> <hr /> <p> Subscribe to <a href="http://www.troop919.org/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/list/T919Notes/"> T-919 Notes </a> via email by entering your email address below: </p> <!-- begin list_subscribe_form.tmpl --> <form action="http://www.troop919.org/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi" method="post"> <p> <input type="radio" name="f" value="subscribe" id="subscribe" style="background-color:transparent" checked="checked" /> <label for="subscribe">Subscribe</label> | <input type="radio" name="f" value="u" id="u" style="background-color:transparent" /> <label for="u">Unsubscribe</label> <br /> <input type="text" name="email" value="" maxlength="1024" /> <input type="hidden" name="list" value="T919Notes" /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="processing" /> </p> </form> <!-- end list_subscribe_form.tmpl --> <!-- end feed_subscription_form_widget.tmpl --> tag:www.troop919.org,2008-11-17:%2Fcgi-bin%2Fdada%2Fmail.cgi%2Farchive%2FT919Notes%2F20081117221305%2F 2008-11-17T22:13:05Z 2008-11-17T22:13:05Z <p><b><u><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Court of Honor </span></span></u></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">- Troop 919 will hold its November Court of Honor on Tuesday (11/18) at 7:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at Brookstown United Methodist Church.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Remember to invite your family to this meeting to share in the accomplishments of our Troop 919 Scouts.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Scouts are also reminded to bring snacks and drinks for the fellowship time following the COurt of Honor.</span></span></p> <p><u><b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Popcorn Money</span></span></b></u><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - All popcorn money is due next week, November 25.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Our popcorn kernel and chairman, Marshall Foster, will meet Scouts at the Scout Hut next week at 7:30 p.m. to receive your money.</span></span></p> <p><u><b><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Patrol Food</span></span></b></u><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> - A friendly reminder that if you are a last minute (meaning after the Tuesday night menu planning meeting) cancellation for a Troop camping trip that you are still responsible for your portion of the patrol food cost for the event.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's appreciated when you let your Scoutmaster know that you will not be attending and it remains your responsibility to contact the Scout who is buying the food to determine if food has already been purchased for you.
