Welcome Back Meeting: August 28, 2025
Our monthly overnight outings are designed to allow participation by Scouts of all ages. Sign-Ups are done IN PERSON at weekly meetings. If you missed a sign up, you may email the Scoutmaster to request to have your name added to the outing list. Outing costs will be deducted from your family's "virtual scout account", and you will be informed by our treasurer if your account balance is running low. Mileage reimbursement for adults driving to/from outing will be credited to your virtual scout account. It is recommended that scouts bring $20 cash to every outing in case we stop for food along the way. Authorization / MedForms A+B are required for all participants, and adults attending an outing must be registered members of Troop 159.
