Hello Troop Parents!  Do you like money?  Do you like Scouts?  if so then you should help us out!  We are in need of a new Troop Treasurer (ok, so I never said the money would be yours!).    Treasurer is a vital position on the Troop Committee that helps the troop go.  

The Treasurer works with the Committee Chair and Scoutmaster to ensure the troop's finances are properly tracked.  Most of the work can be done during troop meetings or at home between meetings whichever fits best with your schedule.  If you have questions or would like to help out with the Treasurer roll please contact the Committee Chair David Barnard.
