they will need to purchase another one. For a list of prices ask an adult staff member.
We are now providing hair cuts to all active Young Marines. This service is $3
before or after our regular weekly sessions. Please notify us one week in advance of your desire to have your hair cut.
Please ask your child how they can earn rank. There are things in their guidebooks
that they need to study.
If your child has an inhaler or epipen they will need to bring them to each
session.
We are collecting aluminum cans for our unit. For each 30 cans your child
brings in they will receive 1 hour of community service towards the fifty hours that they need to earn the community service
ribbon. Have them remove the pop tabs and bring those in separately.
Make sure you ask your child each Saturday if any forms were handed
out. We have found that some of the children never get them to their parents.
Recruits can have one excused absences during their initial 13
week training and still be able to graduate. If your child is going to be absent due to another activity, church event or
work please send me an email so we will know.
