This is a day to help support Mt Auburn. The Church typically has projects at about 2 congregant homes.  Tasks usually include raking leaves, cleaning gutters, and trimming bushes.

Please check your Scout/Adult Account balances and make sure they have a positive balance!  It's important to keep balances positive to help the Troop run more smoothly.  Dues of $40 will be added to Scout Accounts in December.  You can check balances in Scoutbook: https://scoutbook.scouting.org/ Click on your Scout's name > Scout's Name Payments Log.  A list of all transactions is available in Scoutbook.  The Troop accepts cash, check payable to BSA Troop 245, Zelle, and Venmo (QR codes are attached). 

Now is the time to renew your membership (most memberships expire 12/31/25). You should receive an email with a link from Scouting America to renew your annual membership.  This link will take you to the My.Scouting.org login page, once there, enter your username and password and then click on the red notification icon on top right side of the screen and follow the steps to renew. If you do not remember your login information, simply click the "forgot username/password" option and follow the steps and then once reset login to renew. 

The wreaths are expected to be delivered to my house next week.  If you turned in an order form, watch your email for pickup details.

We will be having the lock on Dec 12 to the 13th. Arrival will be Friday 7:00 PM and pick up is 7:00 AM on Saturday. Please arrive in your scout uniforms and bring any sleeping equipment you want, but most people do not end up sleeping in the first place. Bring personal medication as well as toiletries. You can also bring a video game console or system to play on while we are there. Snacks are also allowed, but the mess will need to be cleaned up.
