What: Aaron Boyd Eagle Project

When: 9:00am-4pm (or completion, I do not anticipate it taking this long) July 24th (Saturday)

Where: Faith Covenant Church: 35415 W 14 Mile Rd, Farmington Hills, MI 48331

Description:

We will be building a fire pit and benches for the church. All building materials will be at the site; we will need to create a base, assemble the fire pit, and construct the benches. Due to the nature of the activity, you should wear suitable clothes (not Class A) and bring work gloves.

Helpful tools to bring are shovels, cordless electric screwdrivers, paintbrushes, and cordless orbital sanders. The church will be open for restrooms/sinks/water fountains. I will also provide bottled water. If you plan on staying during lunch time BRING YOUR OWN LUNCH (which can be stored inside).

For scouts interested in earning the Inventing Merit Badge from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, please see link below.  Though the merit badge is offered through National Capitol Area Council, scouts from other councils can join.  Eight more days left to join as of July 1,2021 and the best part is everything is on Zoom.  There is $10 registration cost. 

Natalie Deneweth is doing a can drive so if people have cans they could contact Natalie at Natmaried07@gmail.com or +1 (248) 826-0166 that would be greatly appreciated to make arrangements.  Natalie is also working on her Silver Award for Girl Scouts and needs to raise funds to support her project.  She is building a gaga ball pit for Parkview Elementary School.  

The Michigan Crossroads Council is seeking a District Executive to support our Ottawa units and volunteers.  This is a great opportunity for a Scouting alumni and college graduate.  See attached for more information.

A number of 777 adults were recognized at the 6/10 District Dinner (list below).  Thanks to all adults that make 777 a best-in-class program for our youth.
