As previously posted the Flea Market is this Saturday. We will need a minimum of 6 scouts per shift in Class A uniforms please; We have a lot of Scouts this year so to be fair and prevent everybody showing up at the same time we are splitting it up into two time slots, you have the choice of:

  • 8 AM-12 noon
  • 12 noon – 4PM

We’ll be getting set up, selling raffle tickets and a few other things. Please shoot an email to [email protected] when you know what time you can make it. Thanks guys and see you Thursday.

Great Opportunity for Community Service and to Help Those in Need

An outreach program in Queens has asked for our help in procuring school supplies to help kids of needy families get ready for the new school year. You can use the attached flyer to request donations from, neighbors, family and friends. 
 
The school supplies will be distributed at a Free Kidz Day Event in Springfield Park on August 10th.
 
Because we will be at summer camp at that time, we are looking to help out before August 3. In addition to monetary donations, they are also collecting:
 

• Bottled water

• Juice boxes

• Book bags

• Pencils

• Pens

• Rulers

• Glue sticks

• Erasers

• Binders 

• Loose leaf paper

• 24 count crayons

• 8 count washable markers

• Spiral notebooks

• Composition notebooks

 
Time spent soliciting will count towards your community service, so log your hours accordingly. Any and all help with this event, as always, is appreciated!
Please contact Mike if you have any questions.
