Troop 85 had a great weekend at the Grass Pond Farm in Fredon. The scouts worked on many rank requirements and some even ranked up! Most scouts were new so they worked on Toten Chit, Firem'n Chit, Knots & Cooking.

Saturday night went down to 28° so all who went got 4 Frost Ponits, the first of many for most.
