RECYCLE PRINTER CARTRIDGES:  Troop 1 collects used inkjet and laser printer cartridges for recycling.  We earn money with these items while keeping them out of landfills.  Please note that we cannot accept previously filled cartridges or generic store brand cartridges.  We can no longer accept cell phones for recycling.  Please do continue to bring printer cartridges to any troop meeting.

HEALTH FORMS:  Troop 1 requires up-to-date health forms to be kept on file throughout the year, not just for summer camp.  Scouts need the forms updated every three years (Class 1 and 2).  If a scout is under the care of a physician or requires regular medication, then his form must be updated yearly (Class 3).  All adults who camp with the troop are also required to have up-to-date forms.  Those adults over 40 years of age (and you know who you are!) must have their health forms updated yearly (Class 3).  If you have any questions, please see our Health Officer .
