As a fundraiser, Troop 42 helps with the GermanFest Picnic. We are responsible for Parking/Traffic and Trash collection. The GermanFest Picnic is August 8 - 10.
It is vital we cover all the time slots. Parents and siblings, who work, have their hours credited to their scout. Please sign up for one or more shift.
Time slots:
Friday, 8 August
· 3:30 PM to 10:00PM (3 adults and 7 Scouts or siblings) This shift can be split up.
Saturday, 9 August
· 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM (3 adults and 7 Scouts or siblings)
· 1:00PM to 5:00PM (4 adults and 11 Scouts or siblings)

Sunday, 10 August

· 12:30PM to 3:00PM (4 adults and 11 Scouts or siblings)
· 3:00PM to 7:30PM (3 adults and 7 Scouts or siblings)
If you cannot work the shifts as outlined but wish to participate, contact Mr. Leonard.
During a shift, we plan to rotate people between jobs, so folks don’t do the same job for the entire shift. If you wish to do a particular job, please note that in your email response.
We supply everything you need (orange vests, aprons, etc.). Bring a water bottle. If you have FMS Handy-talkies, bring them.
Mr. and Mrs. Flake are in charge. Mr. Leonard will assist. Please call Mr. Leonard if you have any questions.
