RECHARTER
The annual portion of $170 is now paid directly through my.scouting.org for your youth($72 for leaders) based on their registration dates. For our "long term" scouts/leaders your registration is expiring October 31st of this year.
Beginning 60 days before their expiration date, all currently registered volunteers/parents of registered Scouts will receive communication from the National Council that will prompt them to renew their registration. To renew this way, simply:
Click on the link in the email, which will take you to my.Scouting.org to renew their registration. Navigate to My Application, on the home screen or click the red notification button in the top right-hand corner.
Follow the steps to renew and pay your annual registration in just a few clicks.
Important Reminders
Parents will have to create a My.Scouting.org account to complete this process, if they do not already have an account.
For parents with multiple Scouts, they will only need to create one account as my.Scouting.org has already linked their Member ID with all of their children registered in Scouts. If parents discover this has not happened or have other issues, please contact Three Fires Council at 630-584-9250 or tfcregistrar@Scouting.org
Leaders, you Youth Protection Training(YPT) must expire after October 31st, 2025. If it is set to expire prior to this date you must re-certify prior in order for your registration to process.
Pack Dues are still paid to Pack 350. They will be collected starting at December pack night.
Scout account funds can be used to pay either of these fees. You will need to submit a reimbursement request for the National/Council fees paid.

All these and so many more are reasons we want you at the committee meeting.
The committee meeting is the 3rd Wednesday of the month, 6:30pm at the Legion.
Veterans Day
This year Sunday, November 10th, will be the annual celebration at the Legion to honor Veterans with a formal Flag Retirement Ceremony.
This is a truly special event for our Veterans and the Legion. YOUR participation in the ceremony adds to the reverence of the day.
HOW?
Fold a Flag to be retired with a Veteran: Showing the US flag deep respect is very important to Veterans. For many it is a symbol of why they served. Ask them what the flag means to them and listen to the response.
Provide service with a smile and helpful hand: Clear plates, clean tables, take out the trash. These are just a few suggestions on how you can thank the volunteers of the legion.
Wear your FULL Class A: When we wear our uniforms we are not just representing Scouting but we also represent the Legion as our charter organization. The Legion is proud to charter us and views us as members at large. Wearing your uniform says you are proud of the Legion as well.
Regardless if this would be your first or your tenth the reverence never fades.
Details:
Breakfast starts serving at 7:30am *Cash only*
