Headlands

Headlands trip at the Dark Sky Park in Mackinaw City departs on Friday! Both scouts and parents of the scout who is planning to go to Headlands need to attend Wednesday’s meeting. It will be dedicated to meal planning for Headlands. Please do not drop your scout and leave because we need for you to hear information and the meeting will likely be shorter than usual. 

Scoutmaster Julia is sick and will not attend. Jeremy is in charge. Details will be given at the meeting. 

Sign up to volunteer at lockin

Reminder!  Parents please sign up to volunteer at the 22nd Annual Gaylord Sportsplex Lock-in hosted by Troop 1!  All Troop 1 families must volunteer that evening for our lock-in to be successful!  We have jobs that go throughout the night, plus clean up in the morning.  If you can't stay the entire night, there are ways to help, like coming early (4am) and helping with the cleanup.  I'm too tired to clean by then and we need someone fresh and happy to help at 4am!  This event is 22 years strong, but we need you to pull it off without a hitch.  We expect between 375-475 scouts and leaders in attendance.  Follow the link to sign up or contact me if you are unable to sign up electronically.

Nominees must have 2 years experience and be of good character and well regarded in community. Feel free to ask Scoutmaster who has gotten an award in the past so we don’t duplicate.
