Last weekend, Troop 1254 sent a small group of brave Scouts to the southern Adirondacks to scope out the fall weather at Good Luck Lake.
This is their report: 27 degrees overnight Saturday with a touch of ice on surfaces, but no frozen water bottles. Sunny and 57 on Sunday. The water temp was a balmy 62. The view from Good Luck Cliffs was extraordinary, and there were almost a dozen other hikers there on Sunday.
There was only one unintentional Scout submersion during canoeing merit badge work, two voluntary submersions, and three glorious campfires. Scouts worked on canoe and kayak paddling techniques, campfire cooking skills, and perfecting the 1254 Stone Soup recipe.
One former Scout/current leader hung the best bear bag in the history of bear bags. In the dark, no less. His new (temporary) trail name is Goldilocks. More pictures to follow...

1254 extended Family, we need YOUR HELP.
The gauntlet has been thrown!
An out-of-state Troop is coming to Cooperstown in a couple of weeks, and they'll be camping in one of our haunts.
They’ve challenged us to a wiffle ball match, and we are severely outnumbered.
But if you show up and help us out, at least we’ll have home-field advantage!

They've also invited us to a family BBQ (10/24 5:30pm), so even if you're no pro wiffleballer, we'd love to see you.
BBQ, games, campfire, and s'mores... 🍁
Message Diana Nicols for the info...bring a dish if you can...all that.

Our first meeting of the school year is TONIGHT, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM.
This is a welcome-back meeting, a welcome-to-the-troop meeting, and a chance to play field games.
We’ll catch up and plan our next adventures while we barbecue hot dogs and roast marshmallows.
All friends and members of the Troop are welcome, as well as anyone interested in joining Scouts. (Our Troop takes all kids 11-17, the local Cub Pack is for kids 5-10, and both welcome adult volunteers.)
We're at our alternative location tonight, not at the CCS Elementary School. If you recognize this location, please show up. If you need more information, message us or text a Scoutmaster at 607–544– 4592.
