Thank you all for supporting Boy Scouts and Troop 410 this past year.  Hard to believe, but it's time to renew our dues for 2010.  It is important that we get all dues in before the Court of Honor on December 15th, so we can complete our recharter process on time and plan a great program for next year.  See the attached form for all the details.  Thank you to Jim and Sharon Westphal for coordinating our recharter again this year!

A note about dues for adults/parents:  Parents are required to be "registered adults" to participate in troop activities such as board of reviews, campouts, and being merit being badge counselors.  We encourage all parents to become registered so that you can jump in and participate at anytime.  If you are already registered, you only need to pay your dues to renew (ask if your not sure).  If you would like to become a registered adult, please complete a BSA Adult application and turn it in with your dues.  Applications are located in the troop meeting room in the stack of form trays.

In addition to completing an application, all adults are required to complete a very brief online Youth Protection Training at http://www.olc.scouting.org/.  It only takes about 20 minutes.  If you have not completed this training, please do so now and send the completion information to Susan Shultz (sschultz@law.utexas.edu) so our records can be updated.

Thank you all again for supporting the troop and making it possible for our boys to participate in a truly unique program.  I'm looking forward to a great finish to 2009 and even more fun in 2010!

Yours in Scouting,

Patrick Hill
Committee Chair
