Attention Eagle Scouts, Scouts 15 - 20, and current Venturing Crew Members.

The current Crew leadership asks that you attend a meeting to discuss the focus of Crew 777 next year.  

Venturing is an extension of Troop 777 for older scouts; it is more focused on social activities than on advancement.

• Home-room for older, accomplished youth that have completed their Troop Leadership requirements
• Crew and Troop 777 are closely linked.  Scouts can be dual registration in both until 18th birthday
• Scouts can continue to participate in Crew activities until 21st birthday
• Meet on same night as Troop
• Less structure, more freedom
• Used to run activities of interest to older scouts, including high-adventures and social activities
• Venturers wear a dark green uniform

Dear Troop 777 Scouts and Families! 

 The recharter process for Troop 777 is actively going on and I request all families to kindly consider not waiting until the last minute to submit paperwork and payment.  Since our Tuesday meetings are outside the church, we are facing limitations from meeting cancellations due to weather, limited volunteers, and not having access to church office facilities, such as printer, copy machine etc.  Therefore, please consider: 

 Here is a great way for adults to attend the 2023 Jamboree.  While unit leader positions are full, there are a list of adult Jamboree Service Team (or JST) positions available.

JST are volunteers from around the country that run the adventures; there is no adventure of a lifetime for our youth without JST.  Since Michigan will likely have one of the largest contingents, and 777 currently has more youth registered than any single District across the state, let's make sure our youth are well supported.  

See this link for adult JST positions and registration (and add your name to our Jambo calendar event to let us know you registered) -  https://jamboree.scouting.org/jamboree-service-team/.

IT IS EXTENDED - THE RECRUITING PATCH SET INCENTIVE.

Now until September 30, 2022 - Recruit a Friend and Receive a Patch Set

Due to the higher than expected registrations, the Michigan contingent is trying to fill 2 additional units before October.

777 Scouts already registered for Jamboree, here is a great way to earn valuable patches to trade.  For every Scout or Venturer that you recruit, the MCC Jambo Committee will issue you a full set of MCC Jamboree contingent patches (2017 example seen here).  The top recruiter will receive five sets of patches.  The rules are simple.  You need to fully registered for Jamboree, then send a note to: jamboreechair@michiganscouting.org , with the name(s) of the Scout(s) or Venturer(s) that you recruited to the Michigan Crossroads Council contingent no later than September, 2022.  Once verified that the Scout(s) or Venturer(s) has/have registered on the MCC website and made Jamboree payments through September 30, 2022.  Each recruited Scout or Venturer can have only one recruiter.  Duplicate entries will be reviewed to confirm the earliest submission date.  In addition, you cannot claim to recruit Scouts or Venturers that are already registered with MCC. 

Hint 777 Scouts - see our calendar event to see who has not signed up yet - and recruit!!

ALSO NEW - No Rank Requirement - Scouts just need to by 12 years old prior to July 19, 2023.
