2021 Klondike Derby Success: Thank You

Administration

, ,

Troop 48 did exceedingly well at this year’s derby. The results speak for themselves. The youth declared a desire to compete and responded to the opportunities put before them. The positive leadership put forth to facilitate the special practices, resources and time by so many was overwhelming.

In particular a special note of thanks to the onsite leaders who towed the line for so many. A burden usually shared by more but this year we made do with less so as to save spots for other youth.

Calling for New Venture Crew Adult Leaders

Administration, Adult Leaders and Parents, Venture Crew

, ,

Troop 


We have lost several adult leaders for the Venture Crew. We need some help in recruiting more in time for the recharter deadline. We need  volunteers to sign up as crew leaders so we can keep the crew going? This can be a dual Troop/Crew membership so if they are already Troop 48 adult leaders and have completed youth protection training then there’s no cost involved. They will have to complete a new adult leader application. I’d be happy to talk to anyone about what a Crew leader does and get an application to them.
