GREETINGS AND WELCOME:
We trust everyone has settled in with school and has gotten use to that routine again. It seems like it has been a short summer and school is now back in full swing. For us, this means that we get to start another exciting year of Frontiering and Scouting. We would like to welcome all of you back for another awesome year as well as welcoming our newest members to our Family of Scouting program. Our FG Troop and CS Pack Committees have worked extra hard planning out all the fun-filled events and activities for the upcoming year. Make sure to check out our Troop Calendar, located on the “Calendar” page under the “Schedules” tab on the main menu bar.

We are so thrilled to get the opportunity to aid in the character development, spiritual growth, and good citizenship of all our Frontiers and our Scouts. This responsibility that has been entrusted to us is not one that we take lightly. Plus, we have a year of awesome activities planned, coupled with some great guest speakers that should pique the interest of both adults and children. We are just weeks away from the start of another exciting scouting year. So, get ready, tighten up your seat belts, and enjoy the ride. We wanted to give you a list of some events that will take place before our first Pack meeting.

PACK MEETING:
Our first Pack meeting is scheduled for September 25 at CPC Youth Center located just behind the Playground on the CPC property. We have an exciting guest speaker scheduled for that night and plan to give out some important information about the upcoming events from our very own FG Troop CS Pack Committees. Our theme for this meeting is “Kicking Things Around.” So, mark your calendars and get ready for night of information and great fun.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL:
On September 6, we plan to have an Ice Cream Social outside of the CPC Youth Center located just behind the Playground on the CPC property. This event is just an opportunity for our entire Pack family to get together, meet and greet each other and to have a little ice cream in the process. Our leadership will be available to answer any questions that parents may have. Please bring your own folding chairs to this event. We are looking forward to having an “ices---creaming good time.”

TROOP MEETINGS:
We are normally scheduled to meet on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month from 2-4 p.m.. The will be some occasions when we will have to move a meeting to another Sunday in order to accommodate another activity. Our first Troop meeting is scheduled for September 7 in the Scout Room. Our Scout Room is located in the basement of the Literacy Volunteers Of America building across the street from the Dollar General Market in downtown Christiansburg at the corner of West Main and Dunkley Streets. If you park in the rear parking lot of the Christiansburg Presbyterian Church (the one across from the Dollar General Market) and walk as if you were going to Burger King, you will walk right pass our Scout Room. So, mark your calendars and get ready for a year of fun activities.

TROOP PEANUT FUNDRAISER:
We are getting close to the start of our annual Troop fundraising event. This year we will again offer products from the Virginia Diner product line.

The start date of our fundraiser is scheduled for August 22 and will run through October 23. This year, we plan to offer Fundraising Classics from the Virginia Diner product line. We do not have a sales goal for this year, however, we do know that by working together, regardless of what goal was set, we will achieve great things. The Troop dues we collect are a far cry from the amount needed to ensure that every girl has the opportunity to participate in all the activities that our Troop provides with no additional cost to you as a parent.

So, let’s get ready to sell bunches and bunches of peanut products.

FUNDRAISER SHOW AND SELL:
On Saturday, September 6, from 9-1 p.m., we will be selling our fundraising peanut products at Kroger. For those of you who do not know about this part of our sales program, we stand in front of the storefront and sell popcorn to the general public. Credit for all sales are evenly divided amongst the Frontier Girls who participate in this portion of our sales program. This is voluntary and is available to anyone who wants to come, hang out, and sell our fundraising products. We will be setting up to sell again at Kroger most of the following Saturdays from 9:1 p.m. until September 27. If you are interested, please plan to come out and help with our sales effort.

TROOP DUES:
Just a reminder that we will be collecting dues soon. You will still be responsible for paying and maintaining your membership fees with Frontier Girls, LLC. Please make sure that your membership doesn’t lapse as you will not have access to their website to get the badge requirements. Watch for more information coming soon.

UNIFORMS:
Just a reminder that Class A uniforms are required for all our frontiers and are to be worn in their entirety to all frontiering functions unless otherwise noted. For more information about Frontier Girls uniforms, see the “Uniforms” page under the “About” tab on the main menu bar. For those who have just joined, we understand that uniforms are shipped after the purchase and that there is a delay for some items to arrive. Please do not let you lack of not having a uniform prevent you from coming to any of our meetings, events, or functions. We do allow time for your delivery to arrive.

FAMILY OF SCOUTING PROGAM:
In case you did not know, Christiansburg Presbyterian Church (CPC) offers a Family of Scouting program that consist of Boy Scout Troop 141 (11-18 years old), Cub Scout Pack 141 (5-10 years old), and Frontier Girls Troop 377 (3-18 years old and mothers can play too). Most of you are aware of the BSA scouting programs, but what is Frontier Girls? Our Frontier Girls Troop 377 was started in January 2016 as an alternative scouting-type program for the highly active and spirited young girls who wanted to experience a program that mirrored one that many of their brothers, who had joined the BSA scouting program experienced. Because the “Frontier Girls” program itself permits a seamless integration with the local BSA programs, the program is the perfect complement to the existing BSA scouting programs already sponsored by CPC, but one that would cater specifically to the young girls in the community. If you have family members or friends that you think would be interested in any of our Family of Scouting programs, please share this information with them. We each have websites as well as Facebook pages. Should they have any questions, they can always contact us.

WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP:
It is “Not Too Late For Frontiering” and we could use your help spreading the word. If you know of a young girl who would benefit from the Frontiering program, please invite the entire family to our next Troop meeting or to our next Pack meeting.

This would a great way for them to see firsthand what the Frontiering program and our Troop are all about. Please share this information with your friends because they may know someone who could benefit from these great programs. If they have any questions before the meeting, please have them to contact our Troop Leadership. Once again, we thank you for your help.

WEBSITE UPDATES:
Welcome to our website. Our website team is diligently working to build a more user-friendly website that will grant access to information about our Troop as well as updates and news from our Troop. Most websites have what is referred to as “a site map,” which is very similar to the “table of content” one finds at the beginning of a book. This table of content lists the pages of the particular website with active links. This map is designed to help visitors to easily navigate through the website and help visitors easily find the exact content they are looking for on the website. While our site continues to be a “work-in-progress,” we believe this addition will be beneficial to all who visit. You can find our Site Map under the “About” tab on the main menu bar.
