Camp
Cards - a personal fundraising tool
Established by the Connecticut Yankee Council, the Camp Cards
fundraising program is a great way for Scouts to earn money to pay
for camp, uniforms, equipment, and Troop 76 adventures.
Selling Camp Cards is simple. Units participating in this
program will earn 50% commission ($2.50) on each $5 Camp Card they
sell. If you're interested, please contact Mrs. Carlson,
carlsonfamily5@mac.com for details. For background
information, but not ordering, here's the
camp cards web page on Council's web site.

Parents: Be an Assistant Scoutmaster
While we have a scout
run troop, adults are needed to supervise the program. Please
help the scouts make the most of their experience by becoming an
Assistant Scoutmaster. With the cost covered by the troop, the
first step is attending the mandatory class, "Intro to Outdoor
Leadership Skills". It will be offered at nearby Hoyt Camp in
Redding on April 12th - 13th, or at Deer Lake Scout Camp at
Killingworth, Conn. from April 26th - 27th.
In addition to helping scouts, being an ASM will create life-long
memories for you. Please contact our Troop Training
Coordinator, Kristine Keaveny, with any questions about ASM
training. For more information about the April 12-13 session,
click

here for the April 26-27 session. Thank you for
volunteering.
