Welcome to Troop 61

Scouts,

If you are participating in a team sport at the High School or Middle school level, you may be able to earn the Sports Merit Badge this Spring.

To qualify: You must be participating in a team sport this season as you will be tracking your progress. In addition, you need to have participated in a DIFFERENT team sport in a prior season AND have been part of TWO organized meets or tournaments. See requirements 3 and 4 (below) to determine your eligibility.

If you qualify, please let me know (via e-mail or phone) and plan to attend a meeting at my house THIS SUNDAY, April 9th from 7 - 8:30 PM. We will have a follow-up meeting later in the season to finish the badge.

Thanks,

Mrs. Kilcoyne (Greg Voyta’s Mom)
