Note: Send inquiries to Ashley Rehr 

Hello Troop 149 Scouts and Parents:

Just want to make sure you have Sunday February 12 on your calendars. We have 2 Troop activities planned with our sponsoring organization, Cherrydale United Methodist Church.  

Scout Sunday - 10:00 - Noon

Cherrydale UMC is our chartering organization. Troop and Pack 149 would not exist without their support and sponsorship,  Scout Sunday is celebrated each year in February. This service both allows us to say thank you to the church and to share the the experience of scouting with the congregation. All Scouts are encouraged to come -- Scout Sunday is about respect for and thanks to our sponsoring organization, not the religion you follow.  We ask Scouts and families to arrive at 10:30 to help hand out programs and get ready for the Scout flag ceremony which starts the service. 

We also have a number of volunteer positions to help with Scout Sunday. If you would like to volunteer for one of these positions, please let us know in the Comments field of the signup form.

• Flag Ceremony
• Children’s Time: 1 scout who is comfortable talking with kids about why he is involved with Scouting.
• Old Testament Lesson Reading
• Gospel Lesson Reading
• Boy Scout Law
• Ushers to hand out programs

Stop Hunger Now - Noon until 3 PM

Once again the church, Troop 149 and Pack 149 are partnering to pack 30,000 meals through a Stop Hunger Now Meal Packaging Event. There are jobs for all: Scouts, parents, grandparents, younger siblings.  It is an amazing activity and we need everybody. And it is fun! Information about the Stop Hunger Now organization  and meal packaging events can be found at http://www.stophungernow.org/

For both the church service and the service project we ask Scouts to wear Class A uniforms.
