Scout Troop 155

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

Well, I want to say congratulations to all the parents who left weepy scouts yesterday. Regardless of what they tell you on Saturday, they all are having a great time and no one is complaining. Today, the scouts participated in Shooting completions, troop swim, 5 mile hike, wilderness survival overnighter, Brave-Chief-Spirit Cairn Hunt and Overnighter,…

Today was a fantastic day for the scouts. The Troop won the retreat banner. This is given to the troop who marches the best. The troop’s are judged on straightest lines, being in step, dressed appropriately. The reward for winning is saying Grace at each meal, raising and lowering the flags and being able to…

Merit Badges started today. The scouts quickly scattered to the wind after breakfast. For those who didn’t have a full merit badge schedule, they lounged around camp until they realized, from not so subtle hints from the leaders, that they are expected to do chores around camp. Then they scattered to the four winds as…

Are you a scout that doesn’t want summer camp to end? Then I have an offer for you! The Cub Scout Day Camp needs scouts to come and assist at camp as youth staff. Scouts need to be 14 years old and of Star rank. Younger scouts CAN participate as junior staff, but a parent…

On Monday we had two parades to march in. Some of our scouts came out and we marched in the Peninsula and Boston Township parades. Thanks to all who came out to march and to the parents that helped out.

Last Saturday, a group of brave scouts took to the trails to start working on their Hiking merit badge. We walked the OA trail that begins in Camp Butler, winds through the northern section of the camp (the original Camp Manatoc) and into Peninsula. There in Peninsula, we found a friend in Thomas the Tank…
