All Scouts that will be age 13 or older by June 25th of 2015 (you will also need to be 1st Class or above) will vote on the 2016 high adventure trip on Tuesday 3/24.  The boys discussed the following 3 options to be selected from.  Please review each and come prepared to cast your vote:

This month's troop meeting themes have included the basics skills you need to be in the outdoors.  With the camping season gearing up, now would be a good time to consider working on some of these Merit Badges by stopping by the troop library to check out the merit badge books and then asking the Scoutmaster for a Blue Card.  The Scoutmaster will provide you the names of BSA approved and trained Merit Badge Counselors you can pick from.

Remember, you should not meet with a merit badge counselor until you have a signed Blue Card and never one-on-one.

There are a few spots still open for the June 25th - July 5th Canadian Canoe High Adventure.  We have now opened the remaining spots to areas Troops and Crews.  Please see Mr. Tischler or sign-up on-line.  

Troop 777 is taking 2 crews of 8 out of the Atikokan, ON base exploring the Quetico Provincial Park wilderness, considered some of the best canoeing in the Americas.  Additional pre-trip stops include overnight programming at Ft. Williams in Thunder Bay, ON, exploring the Soo Locks, and camping along the shores of Lake Superior.   Total cost is $1,200 per person.

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.
