Tonight we celebrated our scouts and their achievements.

Our scouts were recognized for the many adventures that they completed since February.

This year we had two scouts earn their Tiger rank, five scouts earn their Wolf rank, two scouts earn their Bear rank, one scout earn his Webelos rank, and one scout earn her Arrow of Light and cross over to Troop 79.

Congratulations, scouts!

Today our scouts hiked a portion of the Billy Yank Trail on the Gettysburg Battlefield. It was a little warm, but the scouts hung in there.

We break the Gettysburg Heritage Trails program into smaller portions that our young scouts can handle, and try to complete one of those smaller portions each month.

This evening our scouts learned about the U.S. Army, its values and history from the father of one of our scouts who is an officer in the U.S. Army Reserves.

Scouts then got hands on with some of the equipment, and quickly found out just how heavy some of it is!

Another great cabin weekend for the scouts from pack 79! Scouts learned some basic map and compass skills, reviewed sportsmanship, played some games in between the raindrops, and of course, built some forts in the woods!

Any time is a great time for a child to join scouting! If you know a young person in the Gettysburg area currently in grades K-4, we would love to have them try our pack out.

Tonight Jackson and Troy from the Gettysburg Municipal Authority were kind enough to host our scouts at Gettysburg's water treatment plant.

Scouts got to see where their water comes from and the process that makes it safe to drink.

A big thank you to Jackson, Troy and Mark from GMA for welcoming our scouts!

Tonight our pack was joined by Steve Zimmerman from the Gettysburg Green Gathering, who was kind enough to help our scouts out with their Champions for Nature adventures.

Scouts talked about how waste is handled in our community, how to take better care of our earth and future conservation projects.
