If you have any New Youth Applications or have collected any Friends of Scouting Cards, please let me know as soon as possible. I can come pick them up this week. We need to get them in to continue our success into the fall. Remember, Kindergarteners (new Tigers) can be recruited now and can attend summer camps as well as summertime pack outings. Get them started now! They can help earn the summertime award for the pack.

Each unit needs to get to me there Fall Popcorn Kernel and their Membership Chair. Information will be coming out in July and we want to get it to the right people. Please send me their contact information so we can add them to the list.

Finally,

There will be a National Boy Scouts of America registration fee increase coming January 1, 2010. The rate will be increase to $15 for both youth and adults plus $1.00 for insurance. Be sure to get new youth registered early to keep the cost down. This needs to be included into your budget planning for your 2010 re-charters. There has not been an increase in many years. That money does not stay locally but goes to our National Office in Texas. Please be mindful of this as you set your plans for Fall recruitment. Thank you for your commitment over the last year and helping PT be so successful. Let’s have a great 2009 – 2010!
