It is time to complete our annual charter renewal.  Typically, this was done in October, but last year the council moved the date to have the process start in August.

Sunday, Sept. 24 - 2:00 - 4:00 PM - Location: The Well--Please join us as we celebrate with these new Eagle Scouts and their families. We will have brief Ceremonies -- followed up by refreshments - snacks, drinks and a celebratory cake will be served. Hope to see you all there! (This is a change from Saturday, Sept. 30.)

With this new policy in place, any adult (18+) who wishes to attend any overnight campout needs to a registered adult with the BSA. Please see Jeff Haber or Mike Brooks with any questions. 

The Merit Badge Counselor list has been updated and is attached below. When you go into the spreadsheet, the tabs at the bottom are labeled "WhitewaterTrails MB's" and "Troop 857 MB's". The Whitewater Trails MB's are those counselors in our District and the Troop 857 MB's has listed all our very own MB counselors! (Remember a Scout is Trustworthy, please do not share this list with anyone to protect the privacy of these volunteers.)

In an effort to make sure requests do not get lost in our personal emails, please use advancement857@gmail.com for all rank and merit badge advancement reminders or requests.

Below is the process for earning merit badges on your own and attached is a list of merit badge Counselors in our District.   (Remember a Scout is Trustworthy, please do not share this list with anyone to protect the privacy of these volunteers)
