SCOUT TROOP 253

05/31/2026

Went camping at Parrie Haynes Equestrian Ranch this weekend. Due to many scouts being out of town we only had a few scouts there but we had a couple do a 10 mile hike and others do a 5 mile hike for both rank and merit badge requirements. Then had some of our newer scouts work on their next rank and they are almost complete with that. Even had one of our older scouts help teach them some skills which is what he needed to do for his next rank. Overall it was a great weekend of camping and hiking, getting to know our newer scouts,rank work, outdoor skills learning, and learning to provide service by completing a service project by helping to remark a trail.

The scouts have been busy lately. On memorial day we did a flag ceremony for the VFW and then placed flags on the graves of fallen service members.
