• Troop Roster

  All patrol leaders should e-mail me (lucasmitchell1@yahoo.com) to get a troop roster. They should then distribute them to their patrols.  Please, only patrol leaders (and adults who need a roster) should e-mail me; everyone else will get theirs from their patrol leaders.      Thanks     Lucas M.  Posted Nov 27 2007, 03:37 PM by Lucas M. with no comments

• Troop Meeting at the Community House 11/27, plus Community Service Hours for Lock-in

  Just a quick note to remind everyone that the meeting is on for 7:30 at the Community House. The Silver Stags will conduct the flag cermony and we'll be working on Citizenship in the Community. NOTE: Those who need to earn community service hours for the Technology Lock-in may do so by arriving at 6:00 p.m. (maybe 6:30, I'm not 100% sure of the time) to help with holiday decorations.  Posted Nov 26 2007, 07:07 PM by Scott Schuster with 3 comment(s)

• Scouting for Food bag delivery this Saturday 11/3, we need adult drivers

  Troop 125 continues its long-standing support of this national "good turn" by distributing food collection bags on Saturday November 3rd. The food we collect benefits Rochester area families On Saturday November 10th, Troop 125 collects, sorts and delivers food to our local area Food Pantry, operated by the First Congregational Church on Pine Street. The Food Pantry is administered by the Rochester Area Neighborhood House. The Food Pantry provides emergency food for families in our immediate area who are struggling to feed themselves or their children. Unfortunately, the number of families in need is rising, from 481 families supported in 2005, to over 925 families in 2006, with even more people in need heading into 2008. An extra effort on our part will make a big difference this holiday season! We need adult drivers to support this effort Please check in with John Robertson on Saturday morning. Why not grab a cup of coffee and a donut and volunteer your driving services for the morning? It's another way for the Scouts to show they are truly committed to helping other people at all times. Bag Distribution: Sat Nov 3rd: 9am - Sat Nov 3 10:30am Food Pickup: Sat, Nov 10, 9:00am - 11:30am Map to Mr. Robertson's House on the Troop home page. 3894 Dearborn Ave, Rochester Hills, MI Log your hours on your Service Hours Form (download it here) http://cvctroop125.org/files/folders/service_hours_form/entry410.aspx Posted Nov 01 2007, 11:56 AM by Scott Schuster with no comments
