This is truly a trip to circle on your calendar.  While we have been fortunate to make this trip each of the last 3 years there is no guarantee that we will be able to go next year.  Those that have attended will tell you that this is the best “weekend” campout.

It takes many adult volunteers to run the Scouting program both at the troop and district levels.

One of the ways we have to recognize their contributions is by using the adult awards provided by the Ottawa District.  The nominations are due this Thursday by 6pm.  

I encourage you to think of several adults that have made a contribution to Scouting in our unit and beyond.  Then, submit the nomination forms below to Linda Wallner's email by Thursday:

• Nominate up to 3 adults for the Trailblazer award for their contribution to the Troop over the past year.
• Nominate 1 adult for the District Award of Merit for contributions to the Scouting program beyond our unit.  This would include involvement with Troop 777 and the Order of the Arrow, Roundtable, Jamboree, another Cub Scout unit, Commissioner or other multi-unit activities.

Troop 777 will be competing in the 1st Aid Rally in Troy on March 7th.  If you are not attending the Luge outing, please represent T777 at this day only event.

1st and 2nd year patrols are strongly encouraged to attend.

Each Patrol will be evaluated by real Paramedics on how they administered first aid to "victims" made up to simulate real injuries. 

Complete tour of the fire station and equipment included.  Register at http://troop777northville.org/node/1451
