Wear your full Class A uniform.  Let's start this year looking sharp!
All Scouts must bring: 

  • At least one parent, preferably both
  • $30 annual dues: make checks to "Troop 407, BSA"
  • Any corrections or additions to the scout profile information forms which were sent to you in the mail.  Please provide us with all of the requested information.  Many forms that we must file with the Council throughout the year require this information and it is much easier to collect it all now.  Legible entries in a brightly colored pen will greatly ease data entry.

We will elect our new SPL and ASPL this evening. Come prepared to nominate the people you feel are best qualified. Potential candidates should be ready to make a brief statement.
