In July, Troop 66 went to summer camp at Camp Mattattuck where some kids from Troop 260 joined us. All the scouts got to work on getting merit badges. Some merit badges scouts worked on include kayaking, environmental science, sculpting and movie making. We also got to do other activities like swimming, archery, fishing and more.
There was also a special challenge for us to do. We had a chance to join Captain Jordan Beard’s yacht club and get a patch by doing various things like catching a fish, sailing in a rowboat or finding a geocache in camp, etc. Many scouts earned merit badges.
We are excited for the next campout, and we are also excited that the new scout year has begun. We are looking forward to a bike hike on the Cape, Thanksgiving in the Woods, and many other fun activities that we have planned.
