On a cool and cloudy Sunday in late April, nearly 75 Suffield Girl Scouts enjoyed some fresh air at Hilltop Farm by celebrating Earth Day with kite flying, letterboxing and a clean-up hike.
The Friends of the Farm at Hilltop have a long history of partnership with the boy scout programs in Suffield, and Hilltop Farm was the place that Jack Fitzgerald chose to do his Eagle Scout project.
Boy Scouts of America’s motto is “Be Prepared.” In this photo Troop 260 is preparing for a trip down the Allagash River in northern Maine by practicing whitewater canoeing on the Farmington River during a weekend in May.
Troop 66 has been active over the past few months. We went canoeing on the Farmington River and camping at Camp Workcoeman.
As Suffield Academy students pack up to depart at the end of the school year, a crew from UPS stands ready to offer boxes as well as shipping and storage. They’ll even help carry the packed boxes down from dorm rooms to the waiting trucks.
