Do not go canoeing or swimming in the Huron River (west of Wixom Rd), Kent Lake (Kensington Metropark) or Island Lake.  There has been a chemical spill and the water is contaminated.
Heavner Canoe's business will be significantly affected by this, and they always treat our scouts very well, so maybe we can do a Troop canoe trip with them, once it's all cleaned up.

We have received replies from another West Point Cadet!  
He wrote individual letters to the scouts who wrote to him and you can see how much they help these Cadets.
Please consider finding the time to write to our Michigan Cadets -- just let Mr.Chalom know and he can provide their addresses.

Hello Troop 755, 

I'm having a can/bottle drive to raise funds for my Eagle Project.-it's a bike maintenance station to be installed at Novi's Lakeshore Park, to be used by both road and mountain bikers.  I have to pour concrete and mount the station.  The station is made by Dero and is approximately $3000.  

I will be collecting cans/bottles all summer.  Attached is the flyer or you can just e-mail or text me (248-843-8909) for a pick up.  

No Cans?  Please consider donating to my GoFundMe.  

Ankur needs two volunteers each day:

• Sunday, June 26 10-2:00 pm--prep work, cutting wood
• Monday, June 27, 12-4:00 pm--bed construction
• Tuesday, June 28, 12-4:00 pm--bed construction

Please let him know you're interested in attending.  Service hours will be awarded.  Refreshments provided. email him to let you know you're interested.  

Added a new June IOLS.

Summer/Fall 2022 Adult Leader Training-IOLS

Since MCC merged into a mega council, we first see if they have training state-wide.  Many times though, if we look south, we have training opportunities in other councils as close to or closer than our own MCC dates.  Some of the two-night camps will integrate SM/ASM-specific classroom training into the course.
