Troop 87 Refreshment Duty Responsibilities

Throughout the year, the troop has many activities for the scouts. These activities often require refreshments during/immediately following the activity. Therefore, the task of providing refreshments is shared among the families comprising the troop. Two families are requested to sign up for each month of the year. These two families are responsible for the following tasks and duties for that month:

    1. Provide a dinner for the boy scouts the first Wednesday of the month. The dinner would include a main course, a side dish/salad, dessert and beverages.

    2. Provide drinks and a light snack for the parents meeting which is held on the first Wednesday of the month.

    3. Coordinate and make sure refreshments are provided for each activity that occurs for that month.

    4. If a Court of Honor is scheduled for that month, coordinate with the other assigned family to make sure enough refreshments are provided for the Court of Honor.
