Welcome to Troop 77

Camp Allatoona Aquatics Base Weekend
This weekend event will give scouts the opportunity to earn one of two merit badges; kayaking and canoeing. (First Class rank strongly recommended for canoeing.) Class is all day Saturday and until noon on Sunday. Both days are required. First year Scouts will have the opportunity to work on camping and orienteering skills.
- A current medical form is required - there are no exceptions.
- All classes require each scout pass the BSA swim test. This will be conducted Saturday morning.
- It is suggested to consult the merit badge worksheet to see what the scout will learn or do. http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Merit_Badges
We will leave Scout Hall Saturday morning at 6:15(!) and travel to the beautiful Scout Camp located on Lake Allatoona. Contact Mr. Peter Kowalski with any questions.

Remember, to get started on a merit badge, you must acquire a "blue card" with the Scoutmaster's signature.
Note: It is a good idea to make periodic photocopies of both sides of the partially completed blue card. These cards are the only record the Scout or the Troop has of the work the Scout has done toward the merit badge. Any lost requirement records will have to be done again!Troop 77 on Facebook!
