July 4 Parade

 On July 4 the troop marched in a parade with another troop from Marbridge. We marched to the community pool and then they had a celebration, there many interesting things to see there and many people came to watch, at the pool there were refreshments and food. There were firetrucks and many people came with different cars and had them decorated. I hope everyone had a good time!

Summit and Northern Tier

Hey Troop,

Most of you might not have known but, the troop had a Summit and Northern Tier group this year! If you don’t know what summit is, it is a brand new, high adventure scout ranch in West Virginia, and they have many different programs for people to try out. Four people went to summit this year and they did the skating program and some did tree climbing/zip lining and even shooting! They were there for about a week and had lots of fun, they even saw a bear while they were there! We did have a Northern Tier group this year too, at Northern Tier you do lots of canoeing in/near Canada. They go for about a week and make there own route through the hundreds of miles of water in Canada. Hope everyone had fun!

Summer Camp!

Hey Troop!

This year, as most of you know. The troop went to BTSR for summer camp this year! Some of the troop even went to Sea Base, I heard that it was tons of fun. BTSR is located in East Texas and it sure was hot there, the camp had many different options available, and several of them being High Adventure. There was Mountain Man, Cavalcade, and Back Packing. Me personally did the Mountain Man, which was tons of fun! You got to throw tomahawks and knives and shoot black powder, and I highly suggest it. At base camp though the rest of the troop accomplished lots of merit badges. And some of the younger scouts did the Road To Eagle class and got second class as well as achieved most of their first class requirements! But sometimes there are not so great things at summer camp. The food apparently was not the best, as well as the serving times. But I hope everyone had a good time there, I certainly did. Sea Base how ever were on there boat for two weeks, and had a lot of fun. They caught fish and learned how to sail a boat, they learned lashings and lots of other fun stuff! Me personally would have gotten sea sick (I’m not one for boats)!  I hope everyone had fun!

NOTICE: I will make another blog post dedicated just for pictures.
