BSA Troop 236 Falmouth

Troop 236 held its Fall Court of Honor (Awards night ) last night. We awarded Molly her star rank, as well as merit badges earned over the past five months, including at summer camp. Following awards, we had a costume party. I'd like to thank all of our Scouts' parents for all of their support for the program. Special thanks to Father Peter from the Church of the Messiah for attending and offering an opening and closing prayer.

Congrats to Molly on completing the requirements for the rank of star! Molly has shown great enthusiasm for scouting over the last couple years. She is a member of the order of the arrow, was acting senior patrol leader for the troop for summer camp this past year, she is taking on the role of assistant senior patrol leader and enthusiastically volunteers her time to support others in their journey including this weekend when she will be helping during wicked cool autumn adventure at Camp Greenough. We are so proud of you Molly and enjoy watching you succeed on your scouting journey!

This past evening, scouts practiced flag etiquite outside. We talked about the proper way to respectfully lower and fold the American flag. Must of our scouts were aware of this from our summer experience at Camp Read.

Next, we talked about upcoming opportunities and played a game of Night at the Museum.

Finally, we continued the cooking merit badge. We talked about food contamination and how to interpret a nutritional label.

Have a great week!

Scouts are busy today helping out at the Falmouth Bio Blitz. From turtles and snakes to insects and birds, they are assisting experts in an impactful way to catalogue all the creatures at the Upper Coonamesett River Conservation Area.

And just like that, summer camp 2026 is complete! Thank you to our leaders, Kristen Rathjen snd Molly Jacobs who joined me in guiding our scouts this week. Virtually perfect weather, amazing staff and an incredible program. Thank you to all our scouts. It was such a pleasure watching you explore new adventures and enjoy Camp Read.

As a side note, our trailer had a blowout about 30 minutes into our journey home. The scouts and leaders assessed the situation, independently acquired new tires and got back on the road in a little over an hour! There wasnt any panic, we all just supported each other and remedied the situation. That is the real training taking place in scouting. I am so proud of all involved.

Until we meet to plan our next adventure, get some rest and enjoy your summer!

Day 4 was another packed with fun and learning! Elise and Greta who are participating in the painting merit badge completed their bench project. The badge was geared towards professional painting, not art necessarily, so we are sure their newly-found confidence will be a great skill that will be helpful back home! Scouts enjoyed ice cream after dinner and invited several of their favorite staff members for an evening filled with card games and temporary tattoos. Day 5 will be filled with finishing up merit badges and enjoying our last day. This has been a wonderful week. Thank you to the staff who have been incredible. Troop 236 scouts have thoroughly enjoyedthier week!

A very eventful 24 hours here at camp! First, several of our scouts are taking the horsemanship merit badge which means early morning feeding and mucking. Meanwhile, Dr. Molly, Emi, Lilly and Greta participated in the polar bear plunge two mornings in a row! Dr. Molly volunteered to chaperone the wilderness survival overnight where participants sleep in makeshift shelters they have constructed. Finally, last night’s evening activity was Troop night in. We shared a fire with our campsite mates from troop 182 complete with smores and ice cream. Its been a fabulous week weather wise. Our luck may change tomorrow. Stay tuned!
