Troop 777 Alumni Aaron Gierlach and his dad Ray (who was an Asst. Scoutmaster) live in Colorado Springs, CO now. Recently, they were in town and stopped by Mr. Tischler's house to donate some gear and give us a quick update on the impact 777 had and what they have been up to since.

Proir to that, Ken was very involved with Troop 755 and was responsible for the purchase of the 755 canoes that 777 uses frequently.

Parents, we are encouraging everyone who is attending camp outs or summer camp to take this course. While it is required for all assistant scoutmaster’s it would be good for committee members to understand the patrol method as well.
Eric Brown will be teaching the scoutmaster specific training course on March 23 at FUMC from noon to 430.
Please register on our website as soon as possible as space is limited and we may be opening this up to other area units next week. https://www.troop777northville.org/node/3463

Additionally, so that we do not have a rush of advancement updates in Troopmaster 2.0 when we return in September and to manage the growth of our Troop we are requesting the following so that we are being proactive….
