Troop 315 Newsletter August 2022
Do you know this kid… Our own Levi Trout – Eagle Scout of Troop 315 won the 5K this year at the Good Ole Summertime. Totally awesome Levi.
Many, Many thanks for all the help at this year’s Good ole Summertime fundraiser. Even with the price of everything soring, These fundraisers help all our scouts earn their way. It’s a lot of work and tons of coordinating with organizations, scouts have been able to pay their way through an entire year of camps by just helping with these.
All happening this year yet, Pemberville Free Fair, Luckey Fest, Apple Butter Fest, Soccer Tournament and Meat sticks fundraiser are all opportunities to really earn some scout cash.
New youth leadership in the troop. Zack T. and Joe R. are now the Senior Patrol Leader and Assistant taking Jesse’s place who is now our Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. Each year the troop elects scouts for everything from leaders to quartermaster, Chaplin’s aid, Scribe, Troop Guide, etc. Congrats to all who took a position.
