Advancement Changes Effective Jan 1, 2006

There have been changes made in the First Class Rank, a new Merit Badge (Composite Materials), and changes to 28 other Merit Badges. You may view/download a list of the summary changes on the Advancement News Page

 District Merit Badge Counselors

Scouters can request a copy of the updated District Merit Badge Counselor List from Edmon Carmichael. Simple send an email to Edmon so that your registration can be verified and the list will be emailed to you.

If for some reason you cannot connect with Edmon, requests can also be sent to Milton Bell or Katrina Young.

 Exposure Goes a Long Way

  • Do you go to the market in uniform?
  • Do you talk about Scouting activities at work?
  • Do you ever have your boys participate in neighborhood activities in uniform?
  • Do you insist that your boys wear uniforms to school on your meeting day?
  • Do your boys do community service projects in uniform around your charter organization?

If you answered no to any of these questions then you are missing out. When the community sees us in uniform doing things that are positive, that becomes an instant attraction. Believe it or not, parents want their boys doing good things, the kinds of things we do! Wear your uniform proudly!

Camping

The Council is preparing for the 2008 Summer Camping season.

Troop 1318 is gain to attend summer camp at Cole Caone Base the week of July 13-19, 2008. Any Boy Scouts from any other Motor City District Boy Scout unit wanting to join this unit please do so by calling the Camping Department at (313) 897-1965, ext. 258. <<Read More
