We need volunteers for the following positions. Some positions require more involvement than others.
More information will be provided at the Fall Court of Honor. You can also get more information by requesting it here.
Tree Sale Chair (& Committee) — In charge of tree lots and wreath sales. Our existing “Tree Czar,” John Kemper, will be graduating after this year. This position is time intensive during the months of November and December. If this position is not filled this year the tree lots will not be able to operate next year. The tree sale is currently our primary (85%) source of fund-raising. Filling this position is a critical need.
Popcorn Sale Committee — Currently Chaired by Pam Hirsch. Help is needed with distribution of product and collection of funds. The popcorn sale benefits the national and local councils as well as providing funds for the individual boys to use towards high adventure, equipment, or uniform costs. The fundraiser also provides the Troop with a small amount of funding (5%). This position is focused in the month of October with some preparation done in late September.
Travel Chair –Responsible for reserving campsites, buying advance tickets, and submitting travel permits to the local council. Requires very little time commitment but is a vital function for if the Troop is to have successful outings. Attendance at monthly committee meetings is preferred to facilitate information exchange. Our current chair, Donnie Qualls, will be graduating after this year.
Bus Driver –The troop is in need of an additional bus driver. Our current driver, John Kemper, is graduating at the end of the year. Drivers must have a clean record and be willing to attend outings on a regular basis. A Class B CDL with a passenger endorsement is required. The Troop will pay for licensing fees and the initial drive test for an otherwise qualified driver to obtain a CDL.
Recruitment Committee – Currently headed by David Uhr, our recruitment committee is always looking for ways to recruit more scouts. This group is also in charge of parents introduction/orientation to scouting. Time commitment varies with involvement.
Other Positions may be available or may open at any time. Please don’t hesitate to suggest ways you can help the troop.
