This Tuesday, April 16th there will NOT be a regular troop meeting at FUMC. However, for those scouts and adults going to summer camp or other high adventure activity, there is a BSA swim test offering on Tuesday, April 16th from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm at Novi High School during their open swim. The BSA swimmers test will consist of a 100 yard swim followed by floating. We will have one lane reserved for our troop so that 2 swimmers can be tested at a time. Passing the BSA swim test is not required to attend summer camp but the individual will be limited to the water activities they can participate in.

See calendar for details for this Saturday's (1/9/2021) hike at Camp D Bar A (10 miles).  A great way to earn the 40 year anniversary medal, get some exercise, knock off a requirement for the hiking merit badge and enjoy some fellowship with your fellow Scouts (also get out of the house for a while!).  Come prepared for a day hike with day pack (snack lunch and water). proper shoes, layers, $10 to $15 for the medal and hiking poles if the conditions are icy.  We will meet at Camp D Bar A at 10AM this Saturday at the Trading Company store at the front of the Park Entrance.  

Every scout should have the opportunity to experience summer camp, high adventures, or advanced leadership training.  There are several need-based campership programs that try to enable just that.   Each program has its own process and deadline (one is next week).  Unless the application states otherwise, the Scout family files the application directly with the campership program, after obtaining Scoutmaster signature.  Attached are the forms. 

If anyone in the troop is interested in helping Emily Walker return/cash in the cans/bottle collected for her Eagle project fundraiser. She has about 200 bags. Please call or text 248-444-6030 to arrange a time to come by and grab a few bags. Her address is (48820 W 9 Mile Rd) anytime during the next couple weeks to support Emily Walker's Eagle Project. Your help would would be greatly appreciated!  A SCOUT IS HELPFUL
