Troop 444 Families:
Welcome back for another great year of Scouting! We are excited to get things started, and have a LOT for you to take note of, so please read all items below and note the action items (signups, etc.) that we need to hear back on.
CALENDAR: Many important dates for the fall have now been added to the calendar on the troop website, and we will continue to add items over the next few weeks. If you haven't already, please make sure you have saved the login to the site to access all content - AND make sure you have subscribed to the calendar on your device or online calendar, which you can do at
https://t444.org/ical - this will ensure dates will automatically get updated for the year.
MEETING KICKOFF: Both troops have their first regular Monday night meetings of the year on Monday, August 25, beginning with TFC at 7pm and full troop at 7:30pm. There will not be a meeting this Monday 8/18.
-- The boys troop ALSO has a kickoff event this coming Saturday 8/23 at 7pm at Heights Park.
POPCORN: It's popcorn season - and every scout should be participating in fundraisers, as they help fund troop operations! Scouts can already get a jump on sales NOW using the Trail's End app. We also have a number of storefront opportunities beginning with Tom Thumb on Arapaho on 9/13. If you have questions, reach out to our popcorn lead Rebecca Bradley at goteeu@gmail.com. You can see all dates/times and sign up here:

MEDICAL FORMS: If you did not submit a BSA medical form for summer camp or high adventure at the end of last spring, we need one for each registered scout and adult. Please download the form here (Parts A and B1/B2 are all that are needed for normal weekend campouts), fill it out and bring with you to the first meetings on 8/25:
ADULT REGISTRATION: Adults, if you want to stay overnight on ANY campout with the troop, you must be registered with BSA. You can register here - just choose "adult" and pay for your registration, which is good for one year from date of payment:
We look forward to seeing you soon - and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
