Happy New Year to the Frontier Girls Troop 377 and Cub Scout Pack 141 family. We pray that each of you will have a wonderful and blessed start to the New Year and that your blessings will continue throughout the entire year. As always, remember to always give thanks. Let’s get ready for an exciting second half to our Frontiering and Scouting year. Blessings.

IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATES: We will list our most important Troop news updates in this section. So please check back often for new notices, new information about upcoming events, or even reminders about upcoming events. Events from the region as well as those locally are listed further down on this page.

RED, WHITE, BLUE, AND GOLD BANQUET:
It is that time of the year again. It is time for our annual “Red, White, Blue, and Gold Banquet,” which is scheduled for Thursday, January 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall at the Church. This is a family event and all members of FG Troop 377 and CS Pack 141 are invited to attend. We ask that all who plan to attend bring their favorite family meat or vegetable dish, side dish, or salad as this is a potluck style affair. Please note the event starts at 6:30 p.m., so please mark your calendars accordingly. We look forward to seeing you all at the event.

PACK MEETING:
This month’s Pack meeting will be on February 26. We are working on our “Duty To God” theme and are planning an awesome program for the night, so mark your calendars and make plans to come out for what promises to be an enlightening evening.

TROOP DUES:
It is time for us to start collecting dues. You may pay your dues at any Troop or Pack meeting. Dues are $30.00 for Penguins (ages 3-5), Otters (grades K-2), Dolphins (grades 3-5) and $35.00 for Butterflies (grades 6-8), Eagles (grades 9-12), and Owls (adult participants) per Frontiering year. Remember, you are still 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.

Dues need to be paid (received) on or before December 18. If for some reason you have an issue paying your dues, please contact the Cubmaster so that other arrangements can be made to help get them paid. Remember there is a $5.00 discount per frontier / scout for families with more than one frontier or scout in any of our Family of Scouting programs. Please make checks payable to Troop 377.

CSP: ADOPT-A-STREET PROGRAM:
It is that time again. On Sunday, January 18 at 2:00 p.m., we will meet in the CES parking lot for one of our four-scheduled Community Service Projects (CSP). We participate in the Adopt-A-Street Program and have promised to keep our little section of Christiansburg clean by picking up trash along the roadside. So, wear your Class B uniform, bring your gloves, and let's get ready to do some community service. If the weather is bad (raining, snowing, ice on the ground, etc.), the event will be canceled and not rescheduled.

PINEWOOD DERBY RACE:
The derby is quickly approaching. We hope to have the cars by January 22 so they can be distributed at the Red, White, Blue, and Gold Banquet.

If your daughter’s dues are not paid or she is “Not In Good Standing,” (all monies paid) she will not receive a car nor will one be purchased for her. If any parents or siblings plan to race in the Family race and you want the Pack to pick up a car for you, please contact the Cubmaster with the total number of cars you would like him to pick up for you prior to the above date.

The cost of the cars is about $7.00. Whenever you pay, please make sure your name is written down so you can receive the proper credit for your purchase. Click HERE to see a copy of our Pack Pinewood Derby rules.

FAMILY OF SCOUTING SUNDAY:
Family Of Scouting Sunday service will be held on Sunday, February 1 at CPC. We will meet in the rear parking lot of the Church at 9:30 a.m. and do not forget to wear your uniforms. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend this event. Also, the following week is Scout Week where all scouts who belong to the Boy Scouts of America wear their uniforms to school during the week. Also, February 20 is Frontier Girls Leader Appreciation Day when all frontiers are encouraged to wear their uniforms to school and about for the day. Both of these events would be great recruiting opportunities.

TROOP CLASS B UNIFORMS (SHIRTS and HOODIES):
This is the last opportunity for those who are interested in getting a Troop t-shirt to get one. The current shirts are what is called a 50/50-blend, which is lightweight, very comfortable fabric. The cost of the shirts, based on the current total number of shirts that we order.

We have been taking orders from those who are interested in getting Troop shirts and hoodies. Every shirt and hoodie that we order counts toward the total number, however, there is a catch. Before we place an order, you must pay for your shirt or we will not be able to order one for you. For pricing information, please contact our Troop Leadership. The order will be placed mid-January. So, if you want one, please place your order and make your checks payable to Troop 377.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY:
It is time for bad weather to come. Just remember that all Frontiering / Scouting functions are canceled if the weather does not support the activity. If school is canceled because of weather the day of any event or Pack meeting, so will that meeting be canceled. Because of the planning involved in the Red, White, Blue and Gold Banquet and the Pinewood Derby, they will not be canceled except for extreme bad weather.

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.
