ALL SCPUTS interested in running for a leadership position will be required to attend one of the sessions, even if they have previously attended JLT. Each session is limited to 20 participants, so check your calendars and sign up for your session of choice. The sign up sheet is posted on the bulletin board in the back of the cabin.
Troop Meetings for January
Troop 55 will met on Martin Luther King Day, Monday, January 18, 2010. This is being done in order to have enough time to complete all of the necessary tasks and preparations required for the Klondike Derby. All meetings in January will be Class B Attire. We will return to Class A's on Monday, February 1, 2010.
January Campout, Klondike Derby
The January Campout is 1/29/10-1/31/10. The sign up sheet has been posted in the cabin. If you are planning on attending, please sign up asap as we need to plan for sled patrols. We will spend most troop meetings in January preparing sleds and other essentials for the Klondike Derby. Please try and attend as many meetings as possible in January. Cost will be $30 or $40 if you wish to purchase a skull cap. We will leave @ 5:30 p.m. on Friday and return home on Sunday between 12:30-1:00 p.m. The campout is at Tuttle Creek Reservoir.

Troop Elections
Troop Elections are being held on February 22nd. Please let Mr. Braden know by February 8th which position or positions you would like to run for. Remember you must Complete the New JLT in order to hold a position.
Update on Snow Creek
Unfortunately, we will have to cancel our troop activity to Snow Creek. With the new requirements by BSA for snow activities requiring helments to be worn, and no guarantee they will have enough helmets for our group along with the increase in costs associated with this trip, we find it is cost prohibited and therefore PLC has voted to cancel this event.
Re-Charter Fees
Troop fees for rechartering for 2010 are due at this time. The fees are as follows:
Scouts: $60 plus $10 if member of the Order of the Arrow
Adults: $15 plus $10 if member of the Order of the Arrow
Fees are due by Monday, December 7th.
These fees need to be paid in order to stay on the charter in 2010 and remain in Troop 55. If you can not make the meeting, please drop payment in the mailbox located by the Cabin's front door. Mr. Pfeifer is collecting the rechartering fees. Emails were sent to those scouts who still need to submit their recharting fees.
Bartle 2010
Just a reminder that Bartle payment for January is now due. Please turn in your money to Mrs. Bennett or Mrs. Remboldt. If you are unsure of your payment status, please check the spreadsheet on the bulletin board in the back of the cabin.
March Campout
We will be hiking and other activities along the Katy Trail in March, during Spring Break. We are still in the planning process but are anticipating the campout being the first weekend of Spring Break. As we finalize our plans, we will provide more information.
