It's spring break for most of if not all of our members. Because so few people are going to read this within the next 48 hours I will save my whitty opening for next weeks issue.
Here's the news!
This Monday Night:
No troop meeting
Spring break week, see you next week.
Spring 2024 Mulch fundraiser:
#1. What is this fundraiser?
Troop one has teamed up with Midwest Compost to launch our 2024 spring mulch fundraiser. This year's prices are the same as last year and are a fantastic way for the boys to make some summer cash. After selling a few yards of mulch, if asked, you can also offer up your services to your customer to help spread the mulch for a nominal fee. This is one of the more lucrative events of the year.
#2. How do I place an order? Order using the paper forum or calling it in:
Attached are the simple paper forums that Andie has made up. Just fill out the forum and send it in to our email. You can also give stevan a call with the order. Once an order is received and confirmed it will be placed within 48 hours.
Order through our online option: If you wish to order online rather on the phone or sending in an email you can go to our square site. We have a few online only items and it's worth a look to see what we have. When you select the product to purchases don't forget to also add shipping to your order. For example, if I were to add 3 yards of double ground to the cart I also need to add the shipping to St.Charles option. Square is giving us a little trouble linking shipping to the product selection or auto filling the distance. Whenever you or anyone on your list buy's something using our square site please let us know so as to be on the lookout for the notice. Here is the map to help with determining distance.
Happy Easter everyone. In this week's issue we will be going over some of April's upcoming events, the fundraiser and an eagle project.

I want to start tonight's letter off by thanking everyone that helped Bradly with his eagle project. With all of the scrap, junk and saveable items he moved or disposed of around 35,000 pounds of stuff. This was one of the bigger projects we have done in the past few years. Camp Kane is most definitely grateful for all the help they received. Bradly's next task is to get the paperwork done, which should be completed this coming week.
Thank you again everyone!

I first want to thank everyone that helped out at this year's Memorial Day events. Last Monday when the boys did the flag raising they did an excellent job. We had the younger group do the ceremony this year and because of Seth and Wyatt leading them they all did a professional and respectful job. Thank you boys for everything that you did this year. A super big thank you to the adults that helped with the breakfast and the perade. We got another year done, only 364 days until next time.
There are a huge amount of things coming up in the next few weeks for the troop.
