Troop 113 will be well represented at the Klondike Derby this coming weekend. Ten of our scouts have prepared and practiced their outdoor skills for this competition.

Parents may attend the February 3 - 5 ski trip to Bromley. There are packages without Room and Board--single day ticket is $45, 2 day is $75, rentals are the same.

Troop 113 has a few positions a parent needs to assume responsibility of. Please review the following:

1. Photo site - research sites where photos of troop activities can be deposited and viewed online by the troop. We are looking for high volume capacity and no or low cost. Then share your research with the troop committee at its February 2012 meeting.

GREAT trips have been planned by the PLC for the year! Please look over the website carefully! Trip information and registration (see "Event Registration" on right side of home page) for the January Junior Leader Training, Klondike and February Vermont Ski trip.

The annual popcorn sale supports the finances of the troop. If your scout did not sell popcorn this year, the "buyout" due the troop is $30. For your convenience, this may be paid through the website by clicking "online payments" to the left under "menu".

In order to more efficiently collect Troop 113's Boy Scout dues, we are asking that payment be made through the Troop's website (www.troop113.org) via PayPal. You do not need a PayPal account to use this payment method, however, if you don't have a PayPal account you will need a VISA or Master Card. If you don't want to pay your annual dues online, please contact one of the Troop's leaders for other options. Read the full announcement for step by step payment instructions via the website.
