IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ.
As some of you might have heard, the United Methodist church has decided not to recharter any Scout troops nationwide. This includes Pathfinder church. Our current charter expires at the end of this year.
SO WHAT NOW??
We are pleased to announce that we are setting up our own charter that will be known as
“Friends of Boy Scout Troop 244 Girls and Boys. We have contacted a lawyer who will make the necessary paperwork happen. What this means is that all property and checking acct will be owned by the Friends of Troop 244. This is a good thing. The time table for this action should be by the end of October.
The Pathfinder Church will continue to let us use the building for all our meetings and storage of equipment.
In the long run you will not see anything different.
Since we are not sure of the immediate cost from the Lawyers. They have told us that they will keep the cost respectful. We do ask if there is a cost that we might solicit for funds to pay for this transfer.
Troop 244 has been and will continue to be a successful program for our youth. It takes a village to have such great support from parents, adult leaders and also from Pathfinder church. It’s because of you Troop 244 “Does More”.
Currently we have 56 Boys and 22 Girls in the troop. That is fantastic and awesome.
We will keep you informed on the progress of this transfer. Thanks. Hank Poppen-Scoutmaster
