Our next big fundraiser for T173 is scheduled for Saturday, 31 March, at the Carlisle Barracks commissary.  We need your help to get as many adults and scouts as possible scheduled to support this event. This fundraiser allows us to outfit the troop with quality equipment and to make our monthly campouts.  

As usual, we will divide the day into two shift- please sign up for one,
or both.  The morning shift will bag groceries from 0830-1300 and the
afternoon shift bags from 1300-1730. All tips go to the troop.  Both
scouts and adults are needed to assist in this effort.

Adults:  Dave Dworak will collect your RSVPs.  Please respond by March 15 on which shift you can support. We need both adult leaders and parents on each shift in order to make this event a success.

The troop's scout leadership will collect responses for the scouts.
