Troop 66 Visits Philly
|
This year Troop 66 went to Philadelphia for America’s 250th birthday coming up in July. We camped at Pine Hill Scout Reservation in New Jersey and drove to the city each day. We did lots of fun things. On the first day we went to Independence Hall where the king and queen of the Netherlands were also visiting. Unfortunately, we did not get a picture with them, but some people saw them.

Scouting in the Land of Fire and Ice
|
Troops 260, 262 and Venturing Crew 261 had an epic summer adventure in Iceland, and wow, what a trip it was! After two years of planning and fundraising, 26 Scouts and leaders finally set out on a journey they’ll never forget.The adventure kicked off in Reykjavik, where they wandered through streets lined with museums, art and interesting food. Some of the adults even braved Iceland’s infamous fermented shark (hákarl)— however we’d recommend the hot dog. Photo by Sarah Thomas Scouts pose together before visiting Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s iconic waterfalls. But it wasn’t all about the city.

Troop 66 Summer Camp
|
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.
