Attention Troop 1 aspiring adult leaders!
Next weekend, April 28-30, President Ford FSC is offering Scoutmaster Complete training at Camp Greilick near Traverse City. This is a great opportunity to complete both the Scoutmaster Position-Specific "indoor" training and the Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills, the two training sessions required for Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, and Junior Assistant Scoutmasters. This course will provide you with the knowledge every Scout needs in order to reach the First Class Rank, so it's great training for whatever role you may take on in Troop 1. Plus, it's a lot of fun being Boy Scouts for the weekend! Sign-up officially ends April 24. Don't delay!

Please strongly consider attending. Troop 1 is always in need of trained leaders so we can ensure we have two-deep leadership at our functions, and training like this is not offered very often this close to home. All the details about the course and signing up are here: https://scoutingevent.com/272-SMcompleteGrielick, or call James Lake at 906-250-3182.
Troop 1 Assistant Scoutmaster James Lake will be an instructor at this training, so don't miss the fun!
