Troop 888

This past Tuesday was the last Troop meeting presided over by Mr G, and was also the swan song for Mr D! Harris Bierstein was photographer for the evening, and submitted these shots....

Group Hug for Mr G!












Why is everyone but me in Class A??












You set me up, Mr Smith!











Mr Smith gets his Scoutmaster patch - too late to turn back now!











Mr G gets a sneak peek at a picture done by Greg Nowachek











I can't believe he just said that! Not the first time I have felt that way ;-)












Cuttin' the cake


















Obviously, Mr D never earned his Tote 'n Chip












Ok, that's better
















Divide it into 83 1/2 slices??












The last time they will listen to you....











Is he gonna cry?













Final Scoutmaster minute.....












The gang was all here!












Thanks to all of the leaders and parents for your support over
the past 7 1/2 years, and please give Mr Smith and Mr
Leichtman the same support that we have enjoyed!!

Mr G and Mr D

We are looking for a couple of volunteers to run the Troop Popcorn program this fall. Marianne Baetz has been the popcorn Chair since she joined the Troop, and we'd like to get some others involved. So, if we could get 2 people that were willing to work on this for us, that would be great. The first Council meeting is on Saturday,
August 29. There are 3 45-minute sessions during the morning, and we need to have someone from the Troop attend one of those in order to earn additional commissions from our sales. I will forward the details along to whomever can handle this for us.

Basically, the responsibilities are -

1) Handing out materials to the Scouts at a Troop meeting.
2) Timely collection of all orders and placing orders on-line through Trails End web site
3) Ordering Show n Sell popcorn and coordinating locations we can sell in town (i.e., Stop n Shop)
4) Staffing the Show n Sell sales days
5) Coordination of popcorn pick-up and distribution
6) Monitoring of payments and follow-ups, working with the Treasurer Maria Gramieri

Please let me know if you can help us out.

Thx,

Dan DiBiase
Committee Chairman

The Star-Ledger had a short article about the 'You-Gotta Regatta' at Camp Henson in the Scout Post section today, featuring several members of the Angry Beavers and their winning entry. Here is the article....

...a weeks worth from Mr Smith!

Too many to post, so go here -
