Welcome Troop 1077

Troop 1077 meets at Brentfield Elementary School on Mondays at 7:30 PM on days when school is in session. Committee meetings are once a month at a location TBD and are for adults to get involved. Campouts occur once a month. Summer Camp happens usually the second week after school gets out for summer. For 2011 it will be from June 12-18. Winter Camp happens between Christmas and New Year from Sunday to Friday. There is a High Adventure component that is offered for those who are 13 and older that is during the summer months. We are also in the process of resurrecting the Crew 1077 which will be a co-ed Venturing group that is for those who are 15, in the 9th grade, or older. Basically lots of activities for the youth to enjoy.

Adults

4/4/2011 2

Unlike Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts involve the adults in a different way. The boys determine what we do, they run the show, but we make it possible. Adult training is important and fun. I’m doing this presentation as a part of Wood Badge Training. We’ll get into that more later. I’m relatively new to Boy Scouting, so I remember very clearly how unknown and uncertain you feel at the beginning of the journey. We’re here to help you make more sense of what is to come and answer any questions that you might have.

We all want our boys to be Eagle Scouts

Eagle Requirements are much more involved than Cub Scout belt loops or pins. They are meant to keep the boys busy for may years. It is doable, however. Your son will advance through the ranks just by being active.

Resources

4/4/2011 7

The Scout handbook is basically a requirement. In it you keep track of everything your scout does on his journey to Eagle Scout. The middle book is a reference guide for all the Merit Badges offered by Boy Scouts and what the requirements are. The Field Book is a Resource for adults and older scouts and covers anything you could think of to ask about the outdoors.
