Adult Volunteers

Message from Troop 294

Troop 294 is very grateful for all the help so many of you give to the troop. Each time you drive scouts to an activity, teach a merit badge, go on a campout or just show up you are changing lives and making a permanent mark in the world. Thank You!

Volunteers are needed to organize, supervise, and coordinate the events which make Troop 294 special for your youth.

The youth have planned what Merit Badges and activities they would like and now we parents gather to coordinate and organize the adult leadership and volunteers to make it all happen throughout the year. Each year we need adults for Merit Badge Sessions, Fall Popcorn Sales Fundraiser, Christmas Wreath Fundraiser, Gander Mountain Gift Wrapping Fund Raiser, Courts of Honor, Campout Chaperones and Drivers, Campout Food Coordinator, And Advancement and Awards Coordinator. Other opportunities always arise.

Please volunteer your time to any of the "open" positions below by contacting Mike or Ellen (651 738 9095).
