In the BSA, a “chartered organization” is the group that manages a local Scout unit. Central Volunteer Fire Department is the home of Scouts BSA Troops 129 for boys and 2619 for girls.

To help our charter org, the Troops took on the task of cleaning up the front garden at the fire department. Weeding, pulling dead plants, trimming, evening out the soil, planting, and mulching.

Here’s the before, during and finished product.

SCOUTS PARTICIPATE IN SHOOTING SPORTS WEEKEND

Members of Scouts BSA Troop 129 for boys and Troop 2619 for girls participated in the Greater New York Council Shooting Sports Weekend on April 29th at the Ten Mile River Scout Camps in Narrowsburg, NY. Both Troops are chartered by Central Volunteer Fire Department in Lackawaxen.

The annual event is offered over three weekends and educates Scouts on the safe and ethical use of fi****ms and archery equipment. Events include archery, BB guns, rifle, shotgun, muzzle loading, and “cowboy action.” All ranges are overseen by staff who are trained by the Boy Scouts of America and the National Rifle Association.

This year, eight Scouts from Troops 129 and 2619 participated in the weekend event, joining Scouts from 55 Troops in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Three Scouts earned awards for their marksmanship:

- Rachel Erb – First Place in BB Class C
- Joshua Wooster – First Place in Rifle Class B
- Zoey Wooster – First Place in Archery Class A
