This weekend Troops 5 and 6 traveled to NY for an outpost fishing campout at Durland Scout Reservation. Outposts are more of a "roughing it" style, the Scouts hiked 3/4 of a mile to get to the site (in the dark and uphill!), with everything they needed for the weekend, including food. Saturday started with a beautiful sunny morning of fishing where *everyone* caught a fish, followed by a scenic hike and ended with a campfire and hot chocolate. This was our first time here and I'm sure we'll be back!

Troop 5 are now home after another epic week at summer camp! And what a week it was - blazing hot temps, wild thunderstorms, the Crutch Cart, one broken wrist, 250th parade and celebrations, and 7 days of fun and friendship. Merit badges, camp wide games, swimming and boating, and an unexpected dance party were on tap for all, and finished up with the closing campfire and ceremony. Get some sleep, Scouts! ⚜️

This past week Henry from Troop 5 participated in the BSA National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) at Camp Workcoeman - a 6-day program designed for youth to learn leadership skills that will help them succeed in Scouting and in life.

This past weekend Troop 5 and Troop 6 camped out at the Berniers outpost here in town. Many requirements were completed, many axes were thrown, and much wood was chopped. After the brief rain shower we all cooked and enjoyed the campfire complete with songs and skits and dad jokes. A few of our older Scouts completed a leadership training class and then went on a side quest with Troop 11 to raise the French flags at the Rochambeau statue dedication at Meadowview. An awesome start to the summer! ⚜️

Troop 5 is very happy to announce that Brayden is now Eagle Scout number 120. Brayden's project was building a new fence and garden in the courtyard of a life skills classroom. It was a long journey for Brayden but he's finally in the nest! 🦅 ⚜️
