Lake Winfield Scott
This trip will be divided into two groups:
1) Base Camping & Day Hiking (We are limited to 35 scouts/adults at this campground)
Group will camp at USFS Lake Winfield Scott Campground. This group will take a 5-mile day hike on Saturday. Day Hikers will cook Saturday lunch, dinner and Sunday breakfast in Patrols. Use of a compass and map will fulfill 2nd Class requirement #1.2) Backpackers (Space is limited to 12 scouts/adults per crew)
This group will be limited to First Class or higher Scouts who are experienced backpackers. The specific campsite will be determined at check in time [PMT protocol]. Backpackers will eat lunch on the trail and cook a trail dinner on Saturday and a trail breakfast on Sunday. Backpacking will be moderate to strenuous. This is a good opportunity for scouts to work on Camping Merit Badge requirements. -
Summer Camp - Woodruff Scout Reservation 2014
Summer Camp means more in a Scout's life than all the meetings in the year put together. The days in camp mean physical fitness, fellowship, and fun. Scouts will have the opportunity to complete requirements for rank advancement, earn merit badges, and participate in several fun troop activities.

Woodruff Scout Reservation is operated by the Atlanta Area Council, and is located near Blue Ridge, Georgia, about two and one-half hours drive north of Decatur.
Deposit of $150.00 (per Scout) due March 15, 2014. Balance of $165.00 due June 4, 2014.

Advancement & Activities FAQs
IMPORTANT!: Please review these Advancement and Activity Frequently Asked Questions with your Scout. This FAQ contains important information about advancement in the Troop. This is new information and represents a departure from the past in terms of what will and will not count for credit toward Scout rank advancement.
Merit Badges
There are numerous Eagle and regular merit badges that can be earned around Atlanta in classes listed on the document linked below. Check the age/rank requirements to make sure that your scout is qualified to attend the class. Also make sure that there are seats available.

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!
