 to Web Page  I need your assistance to keep our webpage up to date! If you have a news article, update or a brief summary of the next event. Or would just like help with a summary of the last event... Please submit it to me via e-mail. Click here Maintaining this page is a lot of work and there is no reason why you cannot help! Click Here to see what we have.  A "Members Only" area is now available. Members must fill out form providing useful information or you cannot be e-mailed back with the approval. Login Here or sign-up! updated on: 11/3/2009 Troop 374 has a unique to program that we pride ourselves on: All new Eagle Scouts are eligible for a High Adventure scholarship program that we award to Scouts that earn their Eagle rank. Very few units offer such an opportunity! There MAY be a $400.00 cap efective for all new Eagles after September 1st, 2007. We have been forced to update the requirements to read: To qualify for the free high adventure trip, the rank of Eagle must be earned BEFORE their 17th birthday and there can be NO "emergency" board of reviews! The minium requirements state that you must be Life for at least 6 months to get Eagle. But it is rare for someone to complete it in less than a year. So, to get your free trip you should earn "Life" before you reach age 16! Lastly, to prevent scouts from transfering into our troop just to get the free trip, you must serve an *elected* leadership position with 374 and must also be active in our unit for at least one year to be eligible. |
The MOST IMPORTANT camp out for the Troop is Summer Camp!!! 2010 UPDATE! We will again be attending Camp Gamble the week of June 13th to the 19th, 2010. We have Campsite Bush. This is the first week of camp we sacrificed convience to (hopefully) have a private campsite. The cost this year will be $210.00 but there is a savings of $10 if paid before April 13th. ADULTS: Submit your vacation schedule as soon as you can. The more adults that attend, the more fun it becomes! For Adults only able to come down for three days, Sunday to Wednesday is always the hardest for us to fill!!! You must use the NEW physical form then click here. NOTE: 2009 was the LAST year a Doctors physical could be used more than once. So, ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST have a new physical EVERY year! As already stated; Summer Camp is the most important activity all year. It is critical that every Scout attends. When someone misses a year at camp it will severely impact his ability to 'keep up' his advancement with the other Scouts his same age! In addition it can eliminate him from becoming an OA member the following year. Summer Camp gives the boys a week of non-stop Scouting experiences. They will get to fellowship with hundreds of other Scouts, work on Merit Badges, swim, hike, shoot, boat, skits, campfires and build upon the Scout Oath and Law. They will make fond memories that will last a lifetime! The Summer Camp Manual is now ready for download! There are some different badges to work on this year in the Nature Area! We have issued copies at Troop meetings but if you want an advance copy (or if you lost yours) you can download your own. Full Manual (This file is 922K so be patient) Summer Camp? The camp fee can be such a strain on a family that sometimes it is easier to just decide to not go to camp. We have at least two fundraisers every year just for you! However, sometimes this is not enfough. For those cases, we DO have financial assistance available in the form of a "Campership". Camperships can pay as much as 50% of the fee! If you know of anyone needing this assistance or YOU need this help... Please let Mr. Wilbur, Mrs. McGartland, Mr. Price or Mr. Mueller know and they can assist you in getting the paperwork. OR it can be downloaded here. Two copies are needed when submitting and should be made PRIOR to April 13th!. All requests are confidential!!!  The BLOG is GONE! See the Members only area for a login to the new forum. (Or just remember the shortcut)  Nathan passed his final Board of Review on January 13, 2008 and he offically became our 70th Eagle Scout! Nathan was recogonized at an Eagle Ct of Honor on April 27th, 2008.  Committee Chairman Mark Price Sr. was presented his "Silver Beaver Award" at the Council Annual Banquet held on Thursday May 29th 2008. A number of the Troop members were present to witness the presentation. The Silver Beaver Award is one of the more prestigious awards made by the Boy Scouts of America. The award is presented by the National Boy Scouts and is the highest award that a local council can bestow on a volunteer for rendering outstanding service to Scout Youth. More details of that evening may be seen by Clicking Here Meritbadge.com is apparently back up, up to date and working! US Scouting is still avaliable for the merit badge research too!
