Scout Troop 155

– By Walter Sterling The OA Summit Experience was incredible. The 4 days of labor was exhausting and long, yet very fun. We all learned a lot about how to build a trail. The whole trip had very crazy weather, mostly thunderstorms every night that shook the tents! Then came the 2 amazing days of…

Michael, Walter and Max made the drive to The Summit, the National High Adventure Scout Camp. The Summit has a great program for scouts, including white water rafting, zip lines, a full skate park, mountain biking and mountain boarding. The Summit is located in the heart of West Virginia.

We are all in good spirits. We had a great night last night. We bushwhacked on a primitive primordial island. We kept looking around for Velociraptors. No rain and a full moon. It was fantastic. Jacob and Logan have been treating us well feeding us as they are working on their cooking merit badge. We…

We made it to the livery in good time, less than two hours. We are unpacked and ready to load up. We are being transported 50 miles up river to begin our journey. Don’t expect much of a signal, so we’ll update in 4 days.

Troop 155 would like to wish everybody a happy and safe 4th of July. And thank you to all service men and women who have made our freedom possible.

Today was a wonderful day of fishing for the families of scouts William Davis, Evan Wagner, Walter Sterling, Jacob Carleton and Evan Shannon. The weather was beautiful at Munroe Falls Lake and as we arrived we were greeted by the sight of wild turkeys, including a tom in full display! Munroe Falls Lake is part…

Congratulations to Walter for earning First Place in the Scout Archery Shoot this year. He also swam a mile, earning a Mile Swim Patch.
