Requirements Change for Free High Adventure Trip

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.

Brandon Noblin to
Recieve Vigil Honor!


Brandon Noblin was publicly recogonized to recieve the Vigil Honor at the Shawnee Lodge OA Banquet on December 18th!

The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its members for service to lodge. It is a high mark of distinction and recognition reserved for those Arrowmen who, by reason of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest, have made distinguished contributions beyond the immediate responsibilities of their office.

Brandon is currently serving as the Shawnee Lodge 2nd Vice Chief.

Brandon is expcted to offically become a Vigil Honor Member at his induction ceremony to be held at the Spring Conclave on April 14, 2007.


2008 Summer Camp Dates

2008 UPDATE! We will be attending Camp Gamble the week of June 22nd to the 28th, 2008. We have Campsite DeSoto. The cost this year will be $185.00 but there is a savings of $10 if paid before April 1st. 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!!!

Don't forget that a complete Physical is required every third year for individuals under the age of 40. Adults over 40 must have a new physical every year!



Can't Afford
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. Frazee 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 at least 30 days prior to camp.
All requests are confidential!!!
