Giving Back to Our Community: That’s What Scouting Is All About!

This evening, the Scouts of Troop 22 had the privilege of preparing and serving a meal for Harvest House at St. Stephen’s Church.

Scouting is more than earning merit badges and learning outdoor skills. It’s about service, leadership, character, and giving back to the communities we call home.

A special thank you to the Haslam Memorial Foundation for generously purchasing the ingredients for this evening’s meal and helping make this opportunity possible.

Job well done, Scout!

This is what Scouting is supposed to be about.
When Cameron saw a girl drowning, he didn’t stand by and wait for someone else to act. He went into six feet of water, pulled her to the surface, and helped save her life.
That’s courage. That’s character. That’s compassion. And that’s being prepared when it matters most.

Cameron demonstrated the kind of qualities Scouting works to instill in young people—the confidence to act, the courage to help, and the willingness to put someone else before yourself.

Outstanding job, Cameron. You represented Scouting at its very best.

Our trailer is back and sporting a few new names in our Eagles Nest!

We understand that a few names were accidentally omitted or misspelled the first time around, and those have now been corrected.

A huge thank you to the Haslam Memorial Foundation for generously covering the cost of the rework, and to Lakeside Signs & Graphics for taking care of the artwork and updates.

Be sure to check out our Eagles Nest the next time you see the trailer and see the names of the Troop 22 Scouts who have earned Scouting’s highest rank!

Tonight, the Scouts of Troop 22 took another step toward advancing in rank as they worked on their First Aid requirements.

A special thank you to Engineer/EMR Kolek from the East Haddam Fire Department for volunteering his time to teach these important lifesaving skills. The Scouts not only learned the first aid requirements needed for rank advancement, but also got an inside look at what it takes to serve as an Emergency Medical Responder and the important role first responders play in our community.

We greatly appreciate the time, knowledge, and experience shared with our Scouts. Opportunities like this help prepare them to be confident leaders who are ready to help others when it matters most.

Troop 22 had an outstanding week at June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation, filled with adventure, learning, leadership, and memories that will last a lifetime.

One of the week’s highlights was a special visit from Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont. Our Senior Patrol Leader had the opportunity to meet Governor Lamont and represent Troop 22 during his visit and round table discussion with other SPL’s.

Throughout the week, our Scouts challenged themselves by earning merit badges, participating in exciting outdoor activities, strengthening their leadership skills.

A huge thank you to our dedicated adult leaders and families for making this incredible week possible. We are proud of every Scout for their hard work, positive attitude, and commitment to Scouting.

We can’t wait to see where the next adventure takes us!

Tonight, our Troop proudly held its spring Court of Honor ceremony, celebrating the hard work, leadership, and dedication of our Scouts.

An impressive 72 merit badges were earned (39 by one Scout alone) highlighting the commitment and perseverance shown by our Scouts throughout these last six months. We also recognized milestone rank advancements, including Scouts achieving the ranks of Star and Life — major steps on their journey toward Eagle Scout.

As we celebrated these accomplishments, we also took time to honor the mothers of the Scouts earning these ranks. Their support, encouragement, patience, and countless hours behind the scenes play an important role in helping these young men succeed. These achievements are not earned alone, and tonight we proudly recognize the families who help make Scouting possible.

Congratulations to all of our Scouts on their outstanding accomplishments. We are proud of each and every one of you!
