Sad News! It was with sadness that Troop 140 Committee accepted the resignation of Scout Master Mel Hisey effective the end of January. Mr. Hisey has agreed to stay with the troop as a committee member. However the committee are pleased to report that Assistant Scoutmaster Lee Crews will take over the position of Scoutmaster.
Anyone with any suggestions or complaints about the troop, the council or scouting in general, please see the committee chair with ideas or plans for improvement. We are always looking for help!
