All Troop 77 Scouts are invited and encouraged to show Scout Spirit by participating in Oak Grove UMC's Scout Sunday Service at 11:00 AM in complete Full Class "A" uniform (you need not be Methodist) - even if you can't attend Saturday. This is a great way to show appreciation to the church for its continued support of our trip. Sunday-only service attendees need not pay the fees, as fees are for food only on Saturday and Sunday.

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!
