Our Troop 875 car wash fundraiser was a huge success today, and we couldn't have done it without you.
With a fantastic turnout of scouts and the help of dedicated adults, we washed and dried 54 vehicles, that’s one every 5 minutes.
A huge thank you to every single person who worked hard washing cars, waving signs, drying windows, and scrubbing wheels. Your teamwork and energy were amazing.
We are so grateful to everyone who brought their vehicles and gave so generously. Your support means the world to us.
To those who gave up their Saturday to help us from start to finish, thank you for your incredible dedication. We know your time is valuable, and we are so grateful you chose to spend it with us.
Many thanks to those who found some time to fit us in their busy schedule. We know how busy Saturdays can be, and we're so grateful you found the time to help out.
We are truly grateful for our Troop 875 family, as your support is responsible for our success. We can’t say it enough – thanks to each and every one of you.

At September 15th’s troop meeting we'll be creating new patrol flags. Bring markers, crayons, colored pencils - anything you can use to draw the elements of your flags.
This is your chance to get creative and work together. Brainstorm ideas, look around for inspiration, sketch out your designs, and decide on colors. Remember, the best flags are a team effort!
Think creatively, a patrol flag isn't just a piece of fabric on a stick. It's a symbol of your patrol's spirit, teamwork, and unique identity. It's what sets you apart at troop meetings. Think about your patrol's name, its strengths, and what makes your group special. Does your patrol have an animal mascot? A clever motto? A running inside joke? All of these things are great inspiration for your design. We can't wait to see the incredible flags you create!

In the next few months, most of you will be receiving registration renewal notices for Scouting America. FOR SCOUTS Do not pay online, as you will be charged an additional $80 participation fee that the troop covers. The youth registration fee is $85 / year. Please pay the $85 registration fee to the troop (Ms. Miceli) by cash, check (preferred), or Zelle. The committee will soon meet to set the dues for the upcoming year. Last year's dues were $85, and once the new amount is set, you will be responsible for that payment as well.

The name change to Scouting America means we need to change the wording on our troop emblem / logo. We decided it’s the perfect time to design a brand-new Class B t-shirt for our troop. We’re soliciting input and design ideas. This is a chance to create something that represents who we are, what we've accomplished, and where we're headed.
What makes our troop unique? Is it our focus on high-adventure trips, our love for service projects, or the fun we have at every campout? Let's get creative and come up with a design that captures our identity.
Think about the colors, slogans, and symbols that you feel represent our troop. You can sketch it out, create a digital design, or even just write down your concept. This is a chance for everyone to contribute and make our troop's gear something we'll all be proud to wear. Bring your designs ideas to the troop meeting on the 15th.

There will be a Committee Meeting following the opening flag ceremony on MOnday September 15th. Agenda includes: dues for 2026, potential new fundraiser, and linked girls Troop.

A quick reminder to bring your handbooks to troop meetings. There is often time to work on rank requirements, so you need your book to record your achievements. At meetings, scouts are shown and taught an advancement skill. Scouts can practice on their own with the help of their handbook and other scouts. At a later meeting, scouts can demonstrate the skill to a leader, who will sign it off in their handbook.
