Lost and Found Coordinator and Scout Uniform Exchange Coordinator: Please notify Ellen Stortz emstortz@bellsouth.net or Debra Stockton dstockto@bellsouth.net or Linda Crouchman lindapip4u@aol.com. These two positions require a much smaller commitment than other positions needed. If you'd like to "ease" into a role with Troop 795, this would be a good position for you. You'll be responsible for keeping an eye out on the Lost & Found or the Uniform Collection and organizing as needed. Send out messages to troop regarding status as needed.

Merit Badge Councelors are always needed - come and get a Parent Resource Survey Form from the office to share your skills and interests so the best possible program can be developed for the Boy Scouts in this troop. In making this survey, the committee wishes to find ways you can enjoy using your talents to help our Scouts.
