Mass Jam 2023 was a great event, and Scout Troop 66 enjoyed it! Mass Jam was held in Cape Cod, Massachusetts this year. The troop got to experience archery, bounce houses, gaga ball and tomahawk throwing. My favorite part was the bounce house, because I liked racing with other kids. There were a lot of troops there from many places.
This year’s Halloween party was a lot of fun! The Scouts set up the party and games for the Cub Scouts to enjoy. Some of the games were spider toss, mini golf, hot wheels racing and nerf guns. Cub Scouts earned candy based on how they did at the games. There were a lot of great costumes at this year’s party.
The next big event for Troop 66 is Thanksgiving in the Woods. Every year we camp at Sunrise Park and set up a feast. We cook a turkey and all of the side dishes and invite our families to eat. This is one of the best events of the year!
Note from Troop 66 committee: interested potential scouts 5th grade and up are welcome to attend a meeting on Mondays at 7 p.m. at the church hall at the West Suffield Congregational Church to learn more about camping, skills, leadership and activities. Questions can be addressed to Troop Committee Chair Aaron Marcavitch (marcavitch@gmail.com) or Scoutmaster Tom Bishop.
