Troop 170 will be providing a SPAGHETTI DINNER FUNDRAISER for our Chartered Partner, East Somerset Baptist Church, this Sunday, September 15. The meal will be served following worship services. Scouts are asked to arrive between 10:30 am and 11:00 am to help prepare and set up. Please wear complete Class A uniform. We will be serving spaghetti, garlic bread, salad and drinks. Your entire family is invited to come and eat. There is no set cost; donations will be collected with proceeds going to help complete our new storage building, which should arrive later this month. This event is to benefit YOU, so please come out to assist (and get a good dinner).

After a brief absence, the Troop calendar has now been updated through the first week of 2018. Details about troop meeting programs will be determined at Monday’s PLC meeting. Photos of the past few months events will be available soon.

A reminder that Troop 170 will be presenting the flags and assisting with the 14th Annual Congressman Hal Rogers Leadership Award Dinner on Thursday, September 21. Scouts should plan to be at The Center for Rural Development about 5:45 pm in full dress uniform, including neckerchief and dress shoes.

Former State Representative Danny Ford will be honored for his service to the region through his lifetime commitment to the principles of the Scout Oath and Law. This event is a Friends of Scouting fundraiser for the Lake Cumberland District.
