We have an opportunity to assist a local charity that was created in memory of a young boy who fought and ultimately lost his battle with cancer. Now this charity raises money to support their efforts to make the lives of local children fighting cancer (and their families) a little more enjoyable. Visit Harlan’s Heroes website to learn more about this worthy charity.
Our opportunity to support and assist this charity comes this Saturday morning, September 26th, when Harlan’s Heroes and CureSearch team up along with Baxter Trails to tell children’s cancer to take a hike, and they have asked us to help mark the trails for this great cause from 7 AM to 8 AM. We’ll meet where the trail starts….at the town hall on Richard’s Crossing in Baxter (click here for the event map). We need to start at 7 AM to mark the trails before the hike begins at 8 AM. We need as many scouts as possible to help with this fantastic event (many hands make light work). Sign up below and wear your red troop t-shirt on Saturday morning. Drop off and pick up at the Baxter Village Hall (3400 Richard’s Crossing, Fort Mill, SC 29708)

As you probably know, we loved our Camp Ho Non Wah experience this summer so much that we have already booked a return visit for next summer. Parents have asked for a way to make paying for summer camp easier and we have a couple of options that we believe will help.
Option 1:
Get your scout(s) involved in selling Trials End Popcorn in the upcoming sale. The profit that they make from their efforts can be applied to the cost of summer camp (or any scouting activity that is coming up).
Option 2:
Use the button below to make several (monthly?) payments across time, starting now, to help to spread the cost of summer camp out across a longer period of time.
Summer Camp 2016 – Early Payment Option – $25 (actually $26.06)
The payment button can also be found on the right side of the webpage for ease of use in the months to come.
