Scouts and Parents
We need additional scouts and parents to ensure we successfully help our local food banks. We are a little "thin" with scouts for the first shift. This is our most visible community service project Scouters participate in during the year. All the food collected stays in Eagle River. Calling all scouts: We have an Eagle Scout on Board lets have a good showing by all scouts. Please respond to this email if you can help We only have 2 adults signed up for shifts please consider signing up to help. Uniform is Class A and please wear appropriate rain/or outerwear. Scouts bring a snack and a water bottle YIS Lou Rivera-Murray Scouts & Parents,
Scout Meeting Sunday 6:30 - 8:30 PM See attached roster for Saturday's Scouting for Food. This is our biggest community service project of the year. The day kicks-off at 9:45 AM and ends 4:00 PM. SO far we have 19 scouts signed up...just about right. BUT, we have way too many signed up for the AM shift (11). Please, a few of you consider moving to the 12-2 or 2-4 shift so we can balance things out...6-8 per shift is about perfect. Some scouts didn't put a time down, so I put them where needed. Additionally, we have a small Girl Scout Troop joining us in the afternoon, but I don't know how many > they will work the store doors. We also need a couple of T219 adults for the afternoon shift(s)...so far we have NONE. If you haven't signed up yet (scouts & adults), we have plenty of room for ALL volunteers. Let me know ASAP any updates, shift changes, and/or additions-deletions. >text or email< Class"A" uniform is the thing to wear...bring a jacket, water bottle & snack. - Please review the attached roster for the shift schedule and let me know the AM shift changes... Thank You...... YIS, Steve Puterbaugh SM, Troop 219 ER, AK 907-351-8826 Who: Scout and Parents Troop 219 (Optimal required participation 24 Scouts and a several parents per shift) What: Biggest food drive of the year. Community Service hours Standing at the store front soliciting food donations/Unloading food barrels, weighing, and documenting received food for the Eagle River Food Bank Where: Fred Meyer, Eagle River Mr. Puterbaugh has been in touch with the food pantry to coordinate the truck & barrels. The longer the boys can work the better...will make the schedule easier. We will need about 20-24 boys for the day to make this work...about 8 per shift is optimum. Three shifts during the time will spread the wealth; 4 at the truck & 4 at the doors. Boys should be in uniform & dress for the weather. Programmatically, we knew the scouting for food would occur sometime in April. However the formal announcement with specifics did not occur until I signed our troop up for the activity last week. We need adults on each shift. Community service is one of the most important things scouts do...This is a great way to give back to our community. All the food stays in ER-Chugiak. Appreciate your support. Please send me an email with your child's name and the shift they would like to work. Also as an adult if you can stay please also let me know so we can put you on a shift Text Mr. Puterbaugh with any questions 907-351-8826. I hope to be able to populate the attached roster with the appropriate number of scouts by Thursday to avoid having the leadership call the individual patrols. The actual time we are volunteering is 10:00 am - 4:00 pm minimum of 2 hour shifts. YIS Lou Rivera-Murray 748-4350
