SYMPHONY ON THE PRARIE
The annual project is back! Troop 199 will be setting up, re-setting and tearing down tables and chairs for 7 SOTP Concerts this Summer. A great way to earn funds for your Scout Account! Every Scout who shows up PLUS all his helpers (up to 4, ages 11 and up) will earn money that will be put in his Scout Account. Plus each Scout (with his family) can come back and watch the concert for free. A great way to hear incredible music and earn money for Summer Camp, campouts, Lock In, Ski Trip, etc.
Scouts ( and helpers) should wear their Class B uniform (Red Troop shirt or any Scout t-shirt) and bring work gloves and a hat.
Set up is at NOON. Re-Set is at NOON. Tear down is 20 minutes after the final concert of the weekend (usually Saturday night except July 4th, August 15th and September 5th).
This year's SOTP Schedule:
Friday & Saturday / August 27-28 – NOON
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday / Sep 2-5 – NOON
