Scouts braved the cold and snow for Troop 116’s annual hike in the Adirondacks🏔️❄️ Spliting up into crews well equipped to combat the weather, each group hikes one of the 46 High Peaks. The Troop stays in the LOJ, a historic 1927 lodge operated by the ADK (Adirondack Mountain Club).

Happy belated Thanksgiving, and thank you for helping us include more scouts in this fun and time-honored Troop 116 tradition! 🦃🍂

In preparation for fall, Ridgefield Scouts helped unload pumpkins for Jesse Lee Church, where the pumpkins are sold to benefit the Navajo nation in New Mexico. So proud of all the good our scouts do for this town and beyond!!🎃🎃
