Merit Badge Make-Up Day Saturday, Aug. 7, 2010 Beaumont Scout Reservation 9 a.m. until Noon. Since you had your chance to complete these badges at Summer Camp, the Troop will not travel down as a group! You must provide your own transportation and parent. Once again Bellefontaine Neighbors will allow our Troop to swim at the City Hall. Unfortunately the pool is not open on Tuesday evenings, so it will be necessary for us to swim on Wednesday evenings. Our recomended time is 6:30-8:45pm, but you can come earlier if you wish. The rate is $1.80 age 12 and under, Adults $2.00. At least one adult must stay with the group. Be aware that they usually charge for anyone to enter the swimming area (swiming or not). So adults, bring your swim suit too! It will be cancled if the weather is below 70 degrees or if rainy. Currently the dates are: June 23rd - Swim July 30th - Swim July 7th - Swim July 14th - Swim July 21st - Swim July 28th - Swim Aug 4th - Swim Aug 11th - Swim Aug 18th - Swim Aug 25th - Swim (Yes after the 1st Troop Meeting) But remember... Summer is Mr. Wilburs vacation! He may be there to swim he may not!! Either way he is NOT there to supervise your kids while they swim! If you want someone to watch your kids then you need to come and swim too! The annual planning meeting is set for Sunday August 15th, 2010 from 1pm to 9pm. We need all youth leadership to be present! Please talk to your patrols and ask them what they want to do differently. Don't forget this is a "youth only" meeting! Two adults are required. After that the ratio will be one adult for every 5 additional youth leaders. (i.e. If we get 11 youth members of the PLC to attend, then a third adult will be allowed.) Too many adult discussions overwhelm the youth and they go silent In the past we have had the youth completely wander off in the middle of an adult discussion! The end result is that the youth will not end up making the decisions or planning what they want. We really do want ideas and suggestions form the adults, but PLEASE submit your reccomendations in writing to the SPL, Scoutmaster or CC. The Scoutmaster and Committee Chairman are only present to provide suggestions and satisify the YPP rules! The annual Haunted House planning meeting is set for Sunday August 17th, 2010 from 6:30pm to 9pm. We need all youth leadership to be present! Please talk to your patrols and ask them what they want to do this year. 100 Years!  On February 8, 2010 Boy Scouting celebrated its 100th Birthday!

 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: 5/2/2010 1 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 BLOG is GONE! See the Members only area for a login to the new forum. (Or just remember the shortcut) Meritbadge.com is apparently back up, up to date and working! US Scouting is still avaliable for the merit badge research too! Check out the new section called: How do I earn a Merit Badge?
