If you are looking to follow some of the action at the Summit, the following social media channels are active:

• Twitter
• Troop 755's Facebook Page
• Jambo Troop 2217 Page (Link here)

See next announcement for details!

If you haven't visited our Scout-run Facebook page, now is the time.  If you are a member of Facebook, go to www.facebook.com/troop755 and join.  The objective of this effort is to have fun and to provide interested troop members with what is going in the Troop from the boy's perspective.  Note that this is not an official channel of communication and will not replace e-mails and the Troop website as your official source of information for Troop 755.

As a reminder, Troop 755 is also on Twitter and you can follow us @troop755.  Often you can follow the boys on campouts as adult leaders post tweets during the trip. The intent of this effort is to have a little fun as well as provide a central clearinghouse of various Scouting activities that are taking place on Social Media.  We have over 215 followers so far -- please help us get to 100! Don't want to become a Twitter user but would like to stay connected?  You can text "follow troop755" to 40404 and you will receive all of the Troop 755 tweets on your phone as SMS text messages.

If any registered adult leader would like to learn how to publish tweets on the Troop account, please contact the webmaster using the "Contact Us" feature.

A big thank you to Mr. Budweg and Mr. Wan for taking pictures of the Scouts and Scouters at Camp Rotary this Sunday.  Here's the link to the electronic version of the photos:

We are running one Chief Pontiac Trail canoe trek this year.  It will be midday Saturday Aug12 - midday Sunday Aug13.  

It is a mix of backpacking and canoeing and everyone that did it last year had a great time!  We also ate like kings with salmon, garlic bread and brats (this year's menu is TBD).

Many of the recent first year Scouts are looking for Boy Scout uniform pieces but the Troop's "Scout Closet" is somewhat bare.  

Parents of Experienced Scouts, please search through your closets and bring in uninform pieces that don't fit your Scout anymore -- we can pass them down to the newer Scouts and help clear some closet space for you!   Please bring the clothes to a Troop meeting and we'll get them to Mrs. Gabriella Duhn, who is running the Scout Closet.

The Boy Scouts' National Youth Leadership Training is a superb week-long training course for 13-18 year olds.

It covers leadership, teamwork skills, communication, problem solving and many other leadership and life skills.  Together with the opportunities in the Troop to use these skills, it is a unique opportunity for your sons!  Tim Chalom, Collin Kittrell, Ethan Galdikas and others from our Troop have done this course and found it highly beneficial.
