A great campout this weekend with eleven frost points at Foster Acres!

Scouts own service at a campfire followed by the surrender of sharp pointy objects to the fire after a day of whittling. Many hiked the trails and worked on rank advancements over the weekend.

Congratulations to Garrett E on receiving The Medal of Merit; Garrett was a member of Pack 85 and Troop 188 before relocating to Springfield, Virginia.

On February 2, 2025. Garrett, an 11-year-old Scout from Troop 1347, acted with remarkable calmness when his mother experienced symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). He promptly contacted emergency services, informing them of the actions he had taken and the status of his mother. Since his father was out of town, Garrett also took responsibity for comforting his 6 year old sister during the incident and at the hospital. During treatment at the hospital, Garrett's mother suffered a stroke that necessitated immediate surgery. Garrett's bravery and presence of mind were instrumental in saving his mother's life. His actions highlight how Scouting America prepares young individuals to demonstrate bravery and composure in critical situations.
