It's summer and nothing says summer like Troop 755 Eagle Projects getting ramped up.

First up is Griffin Wick who is working a project at Maybury State Park. Work was to begin today but is being postponed due to heavy rain.  Stay tuned for more details.  Go to the calendar to sign up.

On June 22, Wyatt Biando-Savin's Eagle project is scheduled for work at the First Presbyterian Church.  You can learn more and sign up here.

Next comes Ryan Beattie who is rebuilding the fishing pier at Maybury.  He remains short of his fundraising goal but you can help him cross the finish line by checking out his GoFundMe site here.  Ryan's project description is attached and he will be needing volunteers in mid-July.  Stay tuned for exact dates.

If you would like Class B apparel for summer camp, our spring-into-summer sales event is open!

If you order items by July 4 (easy day to remember) ... they will be delivered in time for summer camp.  They will be delivered to FALL IN on July 17 or perhaps one of the adult Scouters will bring them up to camp.

A few days ago we posted the photos from the June Court of Honor but due to an error, you actually got the October 2020 Court of Honor instead.   It is all fixed and if you click here ... you have your choice of THREE Courts of Honor albums to view!

Mr. Perrine along with Ms. Alana Conti from Troop 6100 will be presenting this very informative session on May 26 at 7PM via ZOOM. 

This session will fulfill the Second Class 7c requirement about Substance Abuse Risks.  But everyone in the Troop is invited and can benefit from this very informative session.  Go to the Calendar on May 26 and sign up now!

Over the past several months I have been very optimistic that Camp Northville would be able to go on as planned with the new Covid-19 vaccines coming out, and Michigan’s aggressive stance on masking and social distancing.  However, like you, I have been watching the numbers trending in the wrong direction for several days. Coupled with a heavy dose of reality of how our scouts mix when there will be a couple hundred all together, I can only expect that there would be more than a few cases of transmission.  With profound disappointment, I have come to the conclusion that the best course of action is to cancel the Camp Northville event for this year.  In the near term, I will be reaching out to the leaders on the possibility of using Saturday, May 22^nd as a day of civic duty. In the long term, we can plan a date for a Camp Northville event next spring. My sincerest apologies for any adverse effects this cancellation brings.  Yours in Scouting,  KH, Camp Northville 

Troop 755 will continue with alternate plans this weekend including all OA call outs are to register for the induction ceremony held the same weekend at D Bar A.  

Our SPL-in-training will lead a MYSTERY camp out to-be-named based on availability.  

 INSTEAD, please see this calendar entry on a City of Northville Clean up effort we'd like to do instead.  Sign up here for service hours.
