Camp Cherry Valley 2009

It may seem crazy talking about summer camp already, but everyone should start thinking of ways to save for camp. The cost for this camp is $470/Scout! It is a bit on the expensive side but it is money well spent. This is an incredible camp! We have reservations for July 12-18, 2009. It will be here before you know it!

Reminders About What NOT To Take On A Troop Outing

Scouts should NOT be bringing lighters or electronic devices to Troop outings. The purpose of these outings is to experience the great outdoors ……..not to tune it out! Also, the Guide to Safe Scouting states that Scouts are not to use any flammable liquids to light fires; therefore lighters are not recommended Scout equipment.
