Recharter

Greetings Troop 209,

It’s time for us to re-up our Charter and collect National dues. Attached is a form similar to our camp out forms that we will be using this year to collect/update your info and determine how you would like to pay.
Please return this form and payment to the camping in-bin by our  Nov 14 Troop meeting. If you can’t make a Troop meeting before the deadline, the form and payment can be mailed to: Boy Scout Troop 209 | P.O. Box 43525, Madeira, Ohio 45243.
Everyone that recharters this year will receive our new Centennial Troop numeral patch.

Trailer Cleaned out – Gear available to good home

Our stationary trailer has been completely cleaned out, rehabbed and the inside painted. Thanks to Mr. Cross, Mr. Winters, Mr. Kimbrough and all the boys that assisted. With this cleaning, we have some equipment that we no longer need or haven’t used in years. Below is a list of items that we are giving away. First come, first served. Please see Mr. Winters or Mr. Kimbrough if you are interested in any of these items. We will hold them for just a few more weeks and then they will be donated, recycled or thrown out.

Also, Mr. Winters is looking for help in resealing the trailer on Tuesday 9/29 at 6:30. If you can assist, if you have an extension ladder, caulk gun, and tools for removing old caulk please bring them. Caulk will be provided.
