September 12 update: God and Country Award class begins this coming Monday night, Sept. 18 at 6:00 pm at Trinity. Yes, that is right after the campout, and there is only a PLC meeting, not a full troop meeting, so no uniform required. Future GAC classes will not be right after campouts. Please bring $3.79 for the Student Workbook (additional, same amount, if you also want the Mentor's Workbook), a pen/pencil, and a Bible. Questions, call Grady Frank 972-658-0103.

While not required for your Eagle Scout rank, the God and Country Award (GAC) is one we encourage all Scouts to earn. The first promise in your Oath as a Scout is to do your duty to God and your country. The GAC award program is diverse and provides curriculum and a distinct award for almost every religion.
This session for Troop 1001 will be administered by Trinity Bible Church, using the Protestant curriculum (award shown). If you are interested in earning the GAC Award for your religion, and you are not Protestant or Christian, please let me know and Troop 1001 will coordinate with officials at your place of worship to provide an opportunity for you to earn it. All Troop 1001 Scouts who earn the award have their names engraved on the plaque at the Scout display at Trinity.
The first session will be Monday night, September 18 at 6:00 pm in Room 2. To sign up: Please give your name, phone and email to either Mr. Grady Frank or Mr. Doug Miller. Please try to sign up no later than Monday night, September 11, 2006, so we can obtain your materials.
