Troop 755 - Northville, Michigan

We have approximately 80 scouts and 18 drivers and consequently it will be very tight on getting everyone up to summer camp. Mike Kowalczyk, Scoutmaster for Summer Camp, is asking that all drivers confirm via e-mail to him the number of seat belts (including the driver) that you have in your vehicle. Send your e-mails to Mike at this address: kowalczykm@valassis.com . Mike also requests that if you are driving, please bring the largest vehicle "in your fleet". Summer camp is less than two weeks away!!!

Each Scout signed up for Fishing Merit Badge at summer camp should review the merit badge requirements and get his gear ready to catch some fish!

The Fishing Merit Badge pamphlet has the requirements and all information needed to complete the merit badge. The pamphlets are available at the DAC Scout Store and can also be purchased at Nankin Hobby (located at Nine Mile and Farmington Roads). Information is also available on line under “Fishing Merit Badge”. It is recommended that you prepare for or complete many of the requirements before camp.

The next big Troop 755 High Adventure Trip is being announced for Scouts who are 14 years old and Life Rank. As part of the famous Troop 755 QUEST SERIES, the event is called: Northwest Quest (NWQ)!! Tentative dates are June 18 thru July 4th, 2011.

In five weeks we will be at Camp Rotary enjoying all that a Michigan summer has to offer! One of the highlights is earning the Communications Merit Badge by planning campfire programs or watching the same programs presented by your peers. It is important that those who have signed up for Communications should complete a visit to a public meeting and write a summary report before camp. I have summarized this requirement and listed a number of City Council and School Board meetings that can be attended in the attached file.
