Hi everyone,

We will be celebrating Christmas with some special activities and a pizza snack.
Class B uniforms for everyone – please!
- 2025 Scout Dues are Due by December 16!
Dues for the 2025 Scouting year are due by December 16. We need to get everyone registered for the new year before January 1. If you received an email from the BSA, please do not send your dues to the BSA! We need you to make your payment to the Troop so that we can coordinate funds going to the Council and funds that stay in the Troop.
The cost of dues for 2025 is as follows:
Scouts - $150.00 – Most of this goes to the BSA and the remainder stays in the Troop to fund our activities. Included in this is a subscription to Scouting Life magazine.
Adults - $100.00 – Most of this goes to the BSA and the remainder stays in the Troop
Again, please do not pay your dues online. Please write a check to “Troop 965”. If you pay online, you will need to make an additional payment to the Troop for the Troop’s share of the annual dues.
If dues aren’t received by December 16, we will not re-register you for 2025.
- Living Nativity Set-Up and Takedown – Thursday, December 19 – 5:00 Start Time
The Troop will be setting up and dismantling the creche for the Living Nativity. We will be meeting in the parking lot. No need for uniforms – please dress for the weather. Gloves are highly recommended for warmth and to protect your hands from splinters.
