Wanted to pass out some special thanks for this past weekend for Fall Feast.  

Kristen Goodman - Helped secure all the food.  A big job with many moving parts. 

Bill Felosak - Cooked lunch for the adults and covered a merit badge during the event. 

Anne Felosak - Cooked all the sweet potatoes! 

Andy Koilpillai / Rob Roux - Worked with the Scouts to cook the Turkeys / Hams outside.  A huge help. 

Joe Walker - All around a huge help and could not have pulled off this event without his help.  

Janett Oates / John Hoppesch / Scott Fisher - Thanks for all of your support and for coming out this weekend.  Without your assistance we can't support the Scouts with the various activities.  

Andy Abbott / Steve Hoshaw - Thanks for coming out to camp with us and looking forward to many more activities together.  

Catriona Giannotta - Great job as SPL for the event on short notice.  The Scouts were busy with lots of opportunities for advancement and cooked a great meal on time to feed all the guests. 

Parents / Guests - Thanks for coming out and supporting our Scout Troop.  Hopefully you enjoyed a warm meal and some time with family with great weather.  

Troop / Crew 777,

 We have been working with First United Methodist Church to return to Program in the church.  Based on our discussions and following guidelines of the church, state and MCC below are the plans.

• Each week every person (Scout, Scouter or Parent) entering the church must complete the online survey electronically.  Here is the link.  Also the QR code is listed on the main page of our website. 
• We plan to have a temperature scanner at the Front Entry door.  Let’s do our best not to bunch up around the entry way. 
• We will have someone at the Front Entry door (starting around 6:45 pm) ensuring that you have completed the weekly survey and if not, a QR Code will be provided so that you can complete the survey prior to entry.  The electronic solution will be the most efficient way to complete this task.  We will utilize paper only as a last resort. 
• Due to recent state guidelines we are only allowed to have 50 people inside the gym.  As a result, we will focus on serving the Youth first and then registered adult leaders to support the Program. 
• The PLC (Patrol Leaders Council) will meet from 7:00 pm to 7:30 pm each week.  The Troop meeting will be from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm each week. 
• While in the church we can only use the gym and the restrooms.  The adults will obtain any materials from the storage room.  We can use a few of the tables but we must wipe them down after the meeting and return them to storage.  We will need to be thoughtful of the activities that take place during Troop Meetings and we will need to wear masks and focus on social distancing while inside. 

We appreciate your support and understanding in advance.  Everyone’s safety is paramount and we want to follow the rules to the best of our ability so that we can deliver an in person program to serve our Youth.  We understand that some may not feel comfortable and would prefer a virtual approach.  We will likely have some virtual opportunities as things progress and as we react to any changes that come from the state.

We are looking for Scouts 12 and older (and adults) to be at Weingartz Farmington Hills on Saturday, November 14th, to help with food drop-offs starting at 10 am. Volunteers are welcome to work a 2 or 4 hour shift. The final food drop offs will happen between 2 and 2:30 pm. Masks and a signed waiver form  are required. Social distancing rules will apply and scouts need to bring their own food and water.  Please sign up on the website and indicate the shift you can work.  Mark Bentley is the contact for this event.
