Parents,

The Annual Feast is on November 22nd.  It is a troop-wide activity that allows our Scouting family an opportunity to get to know one another while our Scouts demonstrate their outdoor cooking skills.  We also use this event as a recruiting tool for area Webelos to experience Troop 777 as they near their crossover decisions in February. 

The Scouts will be camping out in tents Friday - Sunday.  Saturday dinner will be served in the lodge at 4pm.

All Scouts will be assisting in the planning and preparation leading up to the event even if they are not attending.  Since it takes the Scouts all day to prepare for this meal, all Scouts are encouraged to attend the entire weekend. 

Each patrol has been assigned food to prepare ahead of time and bring to the Feast weekend.  Patrols will determine how to allocate the work, but it is expected that this is a Scout prepared meal.  However, Patrols may work together.

Please RSVP by registering on the Event Page as soon as possible so the boys know how much food to plan for.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.   

Where: Walled Lake Outdoor Education Center - Main Lodge (Commerce Township)

What: Thanksgiving style dinner, Scout prepared in outdoor ovens.

Who: Scout families, Webelos families, alumni, and guests. 

When: Guests arrive by 2pm.  Webelos interested in helping cook can arrive at 11am.

The Great Lakes Camporee is a few weeks away (Oct 17-19 at Kensington Metro Park) and Jordan has asked that all Scouts make an effort to attend all or part of the event.  In addition to all the fun and competition, the Troop hosts its annual Webelos Lunch.  In keeping with the car theme, Nathan is designing the campsite like a drive-in theatre, where scouts will watch a movie from their tents (instead of cars).   

If anyone is interested, two whalers games are hosting a scout night on November 7 and 8.  Please inform troop that you are going. It is $8 per ticket.
