informational meeting at 6:15pm on Monday January 9 in the church gym.

The stations include a lot of team-building and leadership activities, such as ‘rescue a hostage in the woods’, leading your blindfolded patrol through a course, army-crawl to rescue a team-mate, problem-solving, paddling race, weapons familiarization, fire-building, etc.

We will have our own Troop755 Eagle Scout, John Smith, and Northville High School alumnus, Brandon Liu, there to join us.  I hope we will also get to meet some of the other cadets that we wrote to over the summer.

Logistics

West Point is in New York State and is a 10 hour drive.  So we will leave Thursday afternoon (and stay at a Scout camp overnight) or leave on Friday morning.  (We always used to leave Thursday afternoon when we went before).

If we need to, we can rent 15-passenger Ford Transit vans but renting is expensive.  If we can have enough parents with large SUVs, we should be able to save money.  Either way, we will need a number of parents to be drivers.

We will be helping the American Legion Auxiliary with slider nights from January 2023 to April 2023.  Mrs. Ondrus is the president and a mom of Eagle Scout #180 Dan Ondrus.  

We will be working the following nights, including our own 5th Tuesday nights as follows:

• January 17 (fill in for Auxiliary)
• January 31 (scouts 5th Tuesday)
• February 21 (fill in for Auxiliary)
• March 21 (fill in for Auxiliary)
• April 18 (fill in for Auxiliary)
• May 30 (scouts 5th Tuesday)
• August 29 (scouts 5th Tuesday)
• October 17(swapping with Auxiliary for Oct 31)

Scouts who work at the Legion and accrue 10 hours of service are eligible for a special service patch. 

Parents, please let your scout know that we are running the following Merit Badges, starting Nov21.
Each scout need to print and bring the worksheets packet for the MB they want to take:

We need assistance from scouts and adults for tree harvesting and sales:

12 & 13Nov22 - we need a team of scouts and parents to drive to the Shelby Tree Farm (3 hrs away) to pick up the trees and deliver them to the American Legion.
A second team is required at the Legion to build the tree stands, unload, tag and store the trees.
