Dear All, What a terrific Summer Troop 71 had, three Summer Camps and the 50-Miler High Adventure Trek. I would like to thank all of you for your help and support in these wonderful endeavors. Parental involvement is key for making these events happen and run smoothly. Please support the troop in anyway you can, whether its driving scouts to or from events or your participation in them, this is essential to Troop 71's success. Through your participation, not only will you get to spend quality time with your son, but you will also have the opportunity to form strong bonds with our scouts, adult leaders and fellow parents. I hope you feel a great sense of personal fulfillment in the perpetration and participation in scouting events as I do. Yours in Scouting, George W.
