Help out another Boy Scout

Arthur Battistini, a former Boy Scout with Troop 20, is working on opening a new bakery in Middleboro at the former Mack's Music, 16 Wareham Street and he could use some help getting the new bakery ready to open.  If any scouts have some spare time to help Arthur with some painting, cleanup and other tasks, please give him a call at 774-766-2211 and see when he'll be there.  I know he would really appreciate the Troop stepping up to help another scout.

Medical Forms Needed for Fall Cranboree

REMINDER:  Per BSA policy, all participants (youth or adult) that plan on attending a weekend camping trip of less than 72 hours, must have a completed health and medical record (Parts A & B).  That means that all Scouts who are planning to attend the Fall Cranboree this weekend (Nov 11,12, & 13), must have a current medical form (Parts A & B) on file with the troop.  For this weekend, you only need parts A & B but the troop would like to have Part C as part of our records if you have it available.  If not, that's ok for this weekend. 

If you have forms to hand in, please bring them to this Thursday's Troop Meeting as we will be cross checking the Cranboree signups with the troops records.  Any Scout who does not have a medical form on file will not be permitted to attend.

Annual Dues - Due by November 17th

Reminder to all Scouts - Annual dues for the 2016 - 2017 scouting year will be $100 per scout.  Checks are due by November 17th and should be made out to Troop 20.
