Show us your Pinewood Derby photos!

STM Troop 2535 had a great time at the Pack 194 Pinewood Derby on Sunday! It was just as much fun as we remembered. It takes a lot of work to make magic happen and we were especially impressed by the Cub Scouts who offered to help. Thank you for letting us all be part of your racing team, Mr. Aiken!

A dog owner had almost given up Hope when Troop 648 found her. The story is great, but wait till you read the thank you letter.

In July, Troop 648 did a self-organized wilderness canoe trek in the Adirondacks. While there, a lost dog came upon their camp and stayed overnight. The Scouts used a satellite phone to contact the owner. Two Scouts transported the dog by canoe several miles to meet a park ranger and get her home. The entire crew was helpful and supportive.

Way to go, Troop!
