Mr. Krause has requested that we find a replacement when our new group of Scouts join in 2020. We appreciate all of the time Mr. Krause has dedicated to Troop 558 for numerous years. The role we need to fill is imperative to our First Year Program and it would be ideal that a parent or parents take this on. This has worked even when a parent has a scout in the first year program. Please speak to Mr. McLaughlin if interested. 

Inaugural Mid-America Council Scout Saturday

https://scoutingevent.com/326-30246

This is an opportunity for you and your Scouts to participate in the INAUGURAL University of Scouting, Mid-America Council Merit Badge University and Council Awards Luncheon on Saturday January 11, 2020 at the University of Nebraska-Omaha’s Mammel Hall. 

We need a new Treasurer for Troop 558 as Sarah Chamberlin has requested to step down from this position. She will train! Candidate should be able to attend Troop meetings and the monthly Committee Meeting. Please speak to Bryan McLaughlin or Sarah Chamberlin if willing to volunteer for this important position to our Troop!

Popcorn sales start up on 9-14 and we need all hands on deck. This is the biggest fundraiser for our troop and we need it to be a huge success. This year all storefront signups, inventory and sales will be on the Trails End App.  The app can be found on google play or the apple store for free- just type in trail’s end and it will be the first one that comes up.   

Popcorn has been ordered! This is the first time where we are limited on how much popcorn we can return so it is imperative that all scouts sell popcorn and that we sell out! We cannot return any open cases this year.
