I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We are back at the Hut tomorrow night for a regularly scheduled meeting.  

Re-charter payments are DUE! $189 is the number to remember ($100 for activity fees and $89 for scouting fees). All scouts who continue to stay involved in scouting and want rank advancement, merit badges and go to Sea Base through Troop 369 need to pay re-charter fees. 

• All adults who want to continue to have a presence in the Troop either as a leader or committee member need to pay their re-charter fee of $62. 
• We intend to clean up the rolls this year and try to avoid paying fees of those not active. 
• Please reach out to Andrew Bentley (bakobud@gmail.com) and / or Sara Long (pink.penguin.princess@gmail.com) if you have questions about re-charter. 
• If you have not paid your re-charter fees by December 15, 2022, you will be dropped from the rolls.  

 Lastly, as a reminder, we will be offering the Citizenship in Society, eagle required, merit badge again in January 2023. If you miss this opportunity, please reach out to East Texas Area Council to find a time this merit badge is offered. This new and unique merit badge must be completed in a group setting (cannot do it on your own).
