Scouts and Families!
We have a very busy service month in October!
The events we need the most help at are for late October

We have our Annual Scouting for Food event which our troop organizes and prints door hangers for the Aragon neighborhood on a Sunday, then the following Saturday we collect the food. In the past few years we have collected a PACKED trailer full of food each year! We NEED your help!

I need your help to put together some plans to help as many of you as possible complete your Emergency Preparedness Merit Badges, especially before the Fall Court of Honor.

Can you please take a few minutes to complete the survey below? This will help me understand:

If you have started the badge, what requirements you still have left to complete; or
If you haven't started, what your interest level is in pursuing the badge this year/ or next

Here is the survey link: https://forms.gle/vbMMh3fb1cL9P2DH9
