To All A number of troop members were helping me to carry out my stuff to the cart at the end of the meeting and I am now missing a 30 pound backpack loaded with troop information.  It is not in my car.  It wasn't around the car when I got outside.  It wasn't left inside.  If you know where it is or took it by "mistake", please let me know ASAP.  I will be down in Colesville tomorrow evening and can pick it up.   John Wnek SM 1441-B -- Boy Scouts of America Troop 1441, www.Troop1441.com White Oak and Colesville, Maryland John Wnek, Scoutmaster Sponsored by St John the Baptist Catholic Community, www.sjbsilverspring.org --- To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to bcc-all+unsubscribe@troop1441.com .

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. To All A Scout Troop functions with the direct help of registered Leaders for all activities and the occasional help of the Parents, primarily by supplying transportation for the Scouts to and from Camping events.  We could not function without this help.   The Troop Policy is, If you bring your son to the pickup point to be transported to the event and there is no available ride for him, and you cannot drive him yourself and take others, then he cannot go, others then cannot go and the event may be cancelled. You can't just drop off your son and drive away, be prepared to assist with the driving. We ask you to wait until the Ride situation is resolved. Thank you in advance.

We need about 10 to 15 helpers (scouts and parents) each day to do the raking.  Here is the SignUp Genius page. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4AA4AD22AA8-troop ...
