Merchandise Specialist

Timely availability of relevant merchandise makes the troop experience smoother and more welcoming for members. Our basic expectation is have troop t-shirts available in a variety of sizes and have an inventory of needed handbooks. Opportunities exist to establish beneficial programs such as bulk ordering of uniforms, uniform swaps/lending, and creation of optional spiritware.
