Due to the band concert the Venture Crew Meeting previously scheduled for Wednesday, February 14th will be re-scheduled to Wednesday, February 21st. We will still be holding our regular troop meeting at 7:00 PM.
See ya there!!!
David Hare’s Eagle Court of Honor will be on the 17th of March at 5pm at the Indian River United Methodist Church. 956 Eagles Nest Rd, Indian River, MI (online maps aren’t very accurate)
Head north on I-75 to exit 313. Make a left on to Old 27 which is heading south. Across from the south bound on ramp of 1-75 is Eagle’s Nest Road. You will make a right onto Eagle’s Nest. Follow that not quite ½ mile and the church is on the left hand side. There are signs and there will be red, white and blue balloons to mark the road and driveway.
The actual ceremony is still being planned, but it is our hope that Troop 1 will participate in many different areas. Further information will be forth coming.
The 18 Scouts attending this weekends outing at the Camp Greilick will have the option of sleeping in one of the Adirondack shelters or constructing their own outdoor shelter and completing a Polar Bear camp out.
Ground sheets, tarps, twine, shovels, and straw for outdoor shelters will be provided by the Troop. Shelters must be occupied by at least two Scouts. The scouts must provide their own sleeping mat and sleeping bags. An extra blanket or sleeping bag insert are recommended - it will be very cold this weekend. It is extremely important that Scouts wanting to sleep over night in their own shelters have a DRY, warm set of clothing to change into before going to bed in the shelters.
Please refer to the Trip Consent Form (click link to form) for a complete list of personal gear each scout should bring to this outing.

Congratulations go out to Troop 1's newest Eagle Scout.....David Hare!!! David passed his Eagle Board of Review on Monday, December 11th. His Eagle project is featured elsewhere on this blog, that of remodeling the bleachers at the Inland Lakes School to make them handicap accessible. With the new wheel chair parking area that was built in the the bleachers everyone at Inland Lakes can enjoy an evening of football in comfort. Once again, congratulations to David and his family. The troop is very proud of you.
