Troop Family,
Please keep the Burgess family
Harvest Festival:
The FBCG Annual Harvest Festival will be held on Tuesday, October 31st at the Worship Center. The event takes place from 7pm-9pm. This is an annual ministry service event for our troop. We need as many scouts as possible to volunteer to support this event.
Boy Scouts will be assigned to the Avatar Pinball Machine, Mario Karts, and Ball Crawl Bounce. They are asking volunteers to arrive at 3pm. We know that many scouts are in school and parents are coming from work, please arrive as soon as you can to volunteer, but we understand there may be a challenge arriving at 3pm.
Scouts should wear a red shirt and tan pants to the event. If any scout does not have these colors, please wear your Class A uniform with red neckerchief.
Operation Christmas Child:
As you all know Operation Christmas Child is a long standing charitable organization supported by FBCG. It’s that time of year to fill boxes for National Collection Week (11/13-11/20). Please review the link below for important information on how to pack boxes and what’s new for 2017. Please be on the lookout for a separate email with more details

We will be distributing boxes to be filled by the patrols for the next several weeks. We have 100 boxes to fill for our troop! Help us to accomplish our goal by being a blessing to 100 children this year. Please reply to the troop email if you have questions
NOTE: NO CANDY OR TOOTHPASTE are allowed this year because of shipping regulations
