Volunteers Needed

 

The UMW (United Methodist Women) at Keller UMC will host the annual Sharing the Joy event this weekend, November 12-13, 2022.   This is an alternative gift market, to support local and international non-profit and fair-trade organizations. It will be in the Family Life Center (FLC).  See the link above for some of the vendors coming to the sale.

Keller UMC has asked our Units for volunteers to help the vendors unload cars and bring in their goods on Saturday morning, 8:30–10 am.  And then do the reverse on Sunday afternoon, 1–2:30 pm.  Service hours will be awarded.  Please observe normal YPT practices.

 

This is not a heavy lift – if we have 5-6 Scouts on each day, it will be perfect. This is the camping weekend so if you are NOT attending the campout, please consider assisting.

October & November Campout Forms -- DEADLINE for BOTH 10/17

October's Campout is at Lake Whitney State Park and will focus on Cooking.  October 21-23 Campout Permission form is attached and due 10/17.  Merit Badge worksheets available HERE

October Campout Form

November's Campout is at Tahuaya Scout Ranch in Belton and will be the Highland Games.  November 11-13 Campout Permission form is linked below 10/17 also, along with the additional fees required – slots are going fast to attend this campout, and we want to be sure everyone has a chance to sign up, so we are getting it out there as early as possible. There are extra fees to attend this campout (Troop is paying $20 portion of Scout fees in that regard).

and a HUGE

to Michael Hunt -- as we would not have been able to attend Highland Games this year without him!  He does an outstanding job as our Outdoor Activities Coordinator – most of his efforts are behind the scenes, so I just to say THANK YOU MICHAEL HUNT for all of your hard work for this Troop!

November Campout Form

Again -- DEADLINE FOR BOTH FORMS IS OCTOBER 17
