2025 Matthews Alive!

Hello Troop 46 families!
I hope everyone has enjoyed their holiday weekend and got to see fireworks at some point.  It's hard to believe, but we're halfway through the summer and school is right around the corner.  And that means that the Matthews Alive Festival will be here before we know it.  

Volunteering at this festival is our troop's biggest fundraiser for the year! It is mandatory that each scout participate in this fundraiser in order for us to meet our commitment to the festival.  We were offered the position to work the vendor ice distribution booth once again, so we will be in the SHADE again this year.  We will have chairs, fans and access to a huge cooler to stick out heads in when we get too hot.  It's a pretty cushy job compared to previous years and I'm thankful for it!

Below is the link to sign up to volunteer for this event.  At least 2 scouts and 2 adults are required to be at the booth at all times. There are 44 scout shifts to fill, so if each scout signs up for 2 shifts throughout the 4 days, we will have no problem meeting our commitment.  As with everything in scouts, this is a team effort.  But I'm not above bribing.... so I'm sure some homemade cookies will make their way to the booth for volunteers to enjoy.  :)

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions!  Thank you in advance to everyone for your commitment to scouts!
