A visit to the Chattanooga Nature Center will also be included. Scouts who complete the hike requirements will receive the Blue Beaver Trail patch. See the Blue Beaver Hike and Chickamauga Battlefield Campout Flyer for details.
  • 06-Apr-2008: For all Scouts going to Camp Comer this summer, it is time to make another payment towards camp. While some scouts are paid in full already, most scouts still owe $125. The Council needs to have all of the names of scouts attending and all of the money owed by Troop 350 by 15 May. To ensure the Troop has adequate time to verify names, payments, and submit before the 15 May Council due date, all scout camp fees should be paid in full by 1 May. This allows the Troop adequate time to ensure all administrative details are correct before we submit. If you have questions, please see Mr Pletcher at the Troop meeting, or send him an e-mail.

Fear not, simply click on the RANK ADVANCEMENT topic to the left and download a list of Troop 350 Merit Badge counselors. If you don't know the User Name and Password, just ask a leader at the next meeting. Odds are good that you'll find a counselor that will be willing to help you complete your requirements. Scouts should be the ones to contact the counselor. They should be polite when they talk with the counselor. They should identify themselves as members of Troop 350 and that they'd like to work with the counselor to complete a partially completed merit badge.
