Earn $$$$ for Summer Camp!!!! Lanterns are still available for Scouts who want to earn money to pay for Summer Camp. Troop 390 scouts will have the opportunity to earn money for Summer Camp by selling Lantern Tool Kits at $10 each (a $39.95 value!). First Merit Bank donated the lanterns to the Troop to serve as a fund raiser. All money must be turned in to the Troop and 100 percent will be applied to the $190 early-bird fee, which is due May 15. Scouts can take 6 or 12 lanterns at a time. These lanterns also have a tool kit inside. They would make wonderful gifts. A must have for every car!
