Scouting America Troop 61, Corning NY had a VERY busy weekend

Some helped expand scouting family membership at Heritage Village in Corning with crafts, facts, and fun!

Others expanded their outdoor skills with cooking and shelter building with what they could carry on their backs and what was around them. They came back tired and dirty but no worse for wear.

They went through examples, activities, and games to understand the roles and responsibilities of each position they hold. They can now show that learning to their friends in scouts, school, and everywhere else in the community as we go back to school and start more structured meetings.

Scouting America Troop 61, Corning NY is continuing to meet over the summer before we head to Camp Gorton - Great Falls Council, Scouting America.

The Scouts did great at our FIRST meeting of the summer! Despite the in-tents heat a lot got done with flag folding, maps, compass work, gear recognition, and team building challenges at Spencer Crest Nature Center on the campus of Corning Community College

The following Wednesday our scouts took a hike to a local pond to go fishing. We covered a route of just over 2 miles. We continued our work on compass skills and map reading in action. At several points they found where we were on the map! We also did some plant and animal identification. Some brought fishing gear, and while no one caught a fish we all caught some sun and Fun!
Thanks to the youth and adults who partipated!
