Troop 8005 took advantage of the crisp Fall weather to practice some “winter” camping. The Scouts did a great job of managing the cool, windy conditions to camp out and practice some essential outdoor skills!

Troop 8005 cooled off on a hot day a few weeks ago with a nice 3 1/2 mile paddle on the Ausable River. Thank you Adirondack River Rentals for the great outing!

If you live in the Town of Chesterfield, please take a few minutes and complete this important survey!

The Town of Chesterfield has begun tracking energy usage in 4 main municipal facilities. Doing this step is an intergral part in beginning to understand were we can reduce energy waste.

Congratulations to all of our advancing Scouts, recognized at our recent Court of Honor. We're incredibly proud of the hard work that these boys put into Scouting and all of their other activities!

Our newest Scout achieved the rank of Scout, three of our young Scouts rose to Tenderfoot rank, one Scout rose two ranks to Second Class, and our final Scout made his Life Scout rank. Congrats to all!

This weekend between sports commitments and rain, Troop 5 fit in an overnight backpack and hike. Part of the hike in was in the dark and it was a fight to get the fire started in the rain. However, the Troop enjoyed a warm dry night in a lean-to thanks to the Pray family. The next morning the boys lightened their backpacks and headed up Trembleau Mountain to see a memorial of a helicopter crash and enjoy the end of leaves changing color.

Recently our Scouts had a chance to take a night and clean the historical markers around the Towns of Chesterfield and AuSable. Thank you to the Anderson Falls Heritage Society and the William G. Pomeroy Foundation for letting us participate in this worthwhile project!
