Good morning!!!!  This morning the scoutmaster email address had been changed to direct all emails from Mr. Buckley to Mr. Keegan.  If you want to email Mr. Buckley you'll have to use his regular email address.   Thank you.

Space is still available in 2017 for OA Trail Crews at Philmont, Florida Sea Base, Northern Tier and Summit Bechtel Reserve. If you are a member of the OA, consider participating in one of these 2-week programs where you will spend one week doing trail maintenance and one week on a trek with your crew, hiking the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, canoeing through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, or sailing and snorkling in the Florida Keys! It's an excellent way to attend one of BSA's high adventure camps for very low cost, spend time with scouts from all over the country, and perform valuable service to BSA. Information can be found here: http://adventure.oa-bsa.org/index.php

Beginning Jan. 1, 2017, all Scouts MUST use the new rank requirements (rolled out Jan 2016) regardless of rank.

Scouts that joined after Jan 1, 2016 have the current handbook.  For older scouts, here is a link to the new requirement insert document to print out :  http://www.scouting.org/filestore/boyscouts/pdf/524-012_BS_Requirements_Insert.pdf.   The other option is to buy the 13th edition of the Boy Scout Handbook.

Hi Folks,
We are in need of merit badge counselors.  The merit badge counselor is a key player in the BSA advancement program. Whatever your area of expertise or interest, whether it is a special craft or hobby (basketry, leatherwork, coin collecting), a profession (veterinary medicine, aviation, engineering), or perhaps a life skill (cooking, personal management, communications), as a merit badge counselor, you can play a vital role in stirring a young man's curiosity about that particular topic. By serving as a merit badge counselor, you offer  your time, knowledge, and other resources so that Scouts can explore a topic of interest.  Please contact Michele Duffy (michele.duffy@comcast.net) for more information on how you can become a merit badge counselor

The Eagle Project Showcase offers more than 100 ideas and examples of real Eagle Scout projects completed by Scouts. Each project includes a photo and details on the challenges faced in the completion of that particular project. It’s information that other Scouts will find valuable as they weigh the potential difficulties in their own Eagle project ideas. http://eagleprojects.boyslife.org/

Calling all Trip Masters..... 
I have started to compile a Master Trip Master book.  So far I have 3 events listed.  If you have been a trip master in the recent past, please email me any information on what you did to organize/plan the trip so I can add it to the book.  You can take a look at the information I have so far.  The document is located under Home -> Files -> Trip Master Files & Ref. Guide (http://www.troop2milford.org/taxonomy/term/1175) and is called Master Trip Master
