Within the next couple weeks the troop will be moving to a new website host.  Everyone will be sent a user name and password to the new website once we are ready to switch over.  While it will take some time to get used to the changes, the committee decided the new website has more functions, including finances, that would be beneficial to the troop.

The Boy Scouts of America specialty license plate will be a great way to help support Scouting programs in Michigan. These miniature moving billboards will also be an excellent vehicle for reminding everyone about the importance of Scouting and its role in youth development.

Troop 80 Charter Renewal Form for Scouts and Adults has been added to the files available from the website. 

All Scouts and Adult Leaders are required to fill out this form and submit it back to Bob Wallner.  All parents of scouts are encouraged to register themselves as an adult leader so that they can vote at the committee meetings. 

New Eagle Scout Project Requirements

Attention Scouts, Leaders, and Parents or Guardians:

Eagle Scout rank requirement 5 has been reworded. To support that change, a new Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook has been created. Through Dec. 31, 2011, Scouts have a choice to use either the new workbook or the one it is replacing. Scouts whose Eagle Scout service project has already been approved by the council or district under the former wording of requirement 5—and using the former workbook—should continue with the same workbook. If their project has not yet been approved by the council or district, they may elect to use the revised requirement 5 and the new workbook. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, Eagle Scout candidates—unless they have already submitted a plan for approval by the council or district under the former requirement—will be expected to fulfill the revised service project requirement 5 using the new workbook.
