At the beginning of every year we have to renew our charter with BSA as a children's ministry of Mission Hills Church. In January we will need the following from you. We wanted to give you an advance reminder so you can set some money aside if you need to.
- Annual Dues: A check for $160 written to Pack 794 unless your scout sold $500 in popcorn. This covers all shared expenses for basic events, hand books, neckerchiefs, advancement and Duty to God Programs. Items that cost extra are: Uniforms, Car, Rocket and Boat kits as well as Trips to Colorado Adventure Point, Day Camp, Camp or family camping. Our basic program (not including camps and camping) cost us about $250 per year per scout and is a great value.
- YPT Confirmation: A PDF or paper certificate of confirmation that you have completed Youth Protection Training in the last year and that it is valid through 2/1/2018. Mission Hills Church and our leadership have this from every parent parter who is contact with the scouts. Go to Adult Training You will need to log in or create an account.
- Heath Forms: We will need BSA Medical Forms A & B as well as The Colorado Addendum for all scouts as well as any siblings or adult partners participating in activities. Keep an unsigned and undated copy for yourself. Medical Form AB Colorado Medical Addendum
- Talent Survey:Volunteers run our pack and we need every parent partner to be a helper and have some small investment in the pack. Please turn in a talent survey and consider how you would like to help. We need administrative helpers for one time events, coordinating volunteers, medical records, website, membership, den advancement records, planning hikes, campouts, shopping for food, communications, public relations, community partner relationships, fundraising projects, building pinewood derby cars, judging events, photography/ historian, leading games before and after meetings, setting up and cleaning up the rooms after meetings. Scouting is a pie and I want to share a yummy slice with everyone. It is not too good when you eat too many slices your self. :) Parent Partner Talent Survey
Please get the money to K.C. Kilgore our new treasurer and documents can go to Beth Bogan our new Committee Chair. Checks are great but K.C. can also take cards in person or over the phone as soon as he gets set up. Feel free to email beth PDFs
Thanks for your help in taking care of the logistics. We are looking forward to a great year! with lots of fun and even more camping to meet hiking, camping and cooking requirements. See the planning calendar attached. Feel free to post it on our scouts bedroom wall or the refrigerator.
Yours in Christ and Scouting,
Sean West
