Troop 197: Where Boys become Eagles

Benefit for Tyler Furch

Tyler Furch, an Eagle Scout of the Troop, and a 2008 graduate of Tartan, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkins Lymphoma. He just had his first round of chemo and is doing well. The family, however, has already been hit with a mountain of medical bills with more to come. Close friends and family are throwing a benefit for the Furch family and would like help spreading the word!

Please join them Sunday, July 12th 2-8pm at the White Bear Lake VFW (off of Highway 61).

Tickets are $8

There will be food, a live band and a silent auction. Your support at this event and your continued prayer for Tyler Furch and his family is much appreciated!!!

If you have anything to offer for the silent auction or have any further questions, please contact Linda Fallin; MLFallin@usfamily.net or Mary Wrich; mwrich@comcast.net or Bruce.

Here is the flyer for this event.

Next Event - Summerfest - June 18-21

This is how the Troop funds itself for the year. Please come to the sign up meeting (June 7th) and work as much as you can.

June - July Meetings

  • Sunday, June 7th 7PM Troop Meeting/Parent meeting; Summerfest planning
  • Wednesday, June 17th Summerfest set up
  • Thursday - Sunday June 21st, Summerfest
  • Monday July 13th Tomahawk Merit Badge card night.
  • Summerfest

    Summerfest in Oakdale at Walton park is how the Troop funds itself through the year. All other fund raising goes straight to the boys camp accounts. We need the entire Troop to come out and help whenever you can.

    Our stand sells brats, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, and burgers. We have a great time grilling and selling. Adults do the cooking and the boys do the selling.

    It is requested that families watch for good prices on Pepsi Products. If you could buy a case or two of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Moutain Dew, etc., to donate to the Troop; that would help the fund raising just that much more.

    WE are still in need of 16oz water, Gatoraide and Diet Pepsi. Thanks.
