Parish Festival

The Church of the Assumption Festival is a great opportunity for the troop to give back to our Charter Organization. Volunteering at the Festival will also qualify as service hours toward rank advancement and Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge. As a troop we will be helping out with setup, the ice cream booth, field games, and other tasks. Assistant Scoutmaster Pytel is handling volunteer assignment and sign-up. Please contact him by the June 17th troop meeting to pick your slot. Anyone interested can spend Friday and Saturday night camping on the parish grounds. However, you will need to bring your own tent because troop tents are not used at this event.

UNIFORM: We will be wearing both Class "A" and Class "B" uniforms throughout the weekend. Class "B" is either Troop 810 T-shirt or Summer Camp T-shirt and scout shorts. This is a must for showing off our troop and allowing other festival workers an easy way to identify us. Bring along an extra scout T-shirt for Saturday evening.
