Wear your full Class A uniform.  Let's start this year looking sharp!
This will be an important information sharing time for everyone planning to be involved in Troop 407 during this coming year.  Our first order of business is to elect a new SPL.
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.
