Parents,
You will be hearing in the news that the BSA has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. I have attached a link where you can review the details per the official BSA plan. t.email.scouting.org/r/?id=h15af246d,ad7a7a4,adeb457
How does this affect Troop 99? It doesn’t. We will continue to meet on Mondays at 7:00 just like we have for the last 40+ years.
