Laura Guthrie, Rob Roux, Holly Creedon, Carolina Carlos, and Mark Bentley,
On behalf of the Troop/Crew 777 Committee and Troop/Crew 777 Awards Committee, congratulations on earning the 2021 Ottawa District Trailblazer Award! The Trailblazer Award is given to those that have devoted their time and effort toward the advancement of scouting over the past year.
Wood Badge is the highest level of leadership training offered by Scouts, and having completed it should be marked by ceremony and celebration. Trina Klassa just completed her requirements and is inviting anyone from the troop to attend her “beading ceremony” where she will receive the iconic wooden beads that will henceforth be worn as part of the uniform. Please join if you’re able for the ceremony, yard games and refreshments. RSVP to 248.986.5802 by 9/7 to help tally the count.
It is time to re-charter our Troop and Crew with the Boys Scouts of America (BSA) for the year 2020. This means each scout, leader, and adult must register for the upcoming year. Please see the attached chart for the annual payment to Troop/Crew 777. The fee is compromised of 3 parts:
National/BSA fees: We collect this fee and pay this to BSA which registers our Troop for the year 2020.
Michigan Crossroads Council (MCC) Insurance: This is to protect our scouts, leaders, and chartered organizations that support the scouting program.
Unit fee: Supports the scouts of Troop/Crew 777 and their activities, advancements, and running the program.
Optional Scouting Magazine: $12.00 per scout for the entire year ($1.00/per monthly issue). It's a great magazine that offers our youth with fun reading and reinforces Scouting.
