Unit Highlights
Send in the great things your Scouts are doing for the community or elsewise for us to promote!
At the beginning of December, Troop 202 (Carmel) had an outing at Camp Kikthawenund, in which Scouts learned about how birds and Scouts survive in the winter. They practiced packing for winter outings, did a birding walk and spotted some Cooper’s Hawks among others, learned how to use binoculars properly, looked up-close at different bird species with specimens provided by our troop’s bird expert, built wilderness survival shelters, discussed the basics of astronomy and learned to use telescopes, formed constellations with their flashlights, drank bottomless hot chocolate, and shared a Scout’s Own service.
Congratulations also go out to Troop 107’s Braden (Westfield) who in late November was able to complete most of the work for his Eagle project at Westfield Middle School, in which he created an outdoor learning environment which included the landscape, concrete, shelter and picnic tables. See picture below. Congrats and thank you, Braden!
Camp 2021
We’re excited to get back to the outdoors this summer and we would love for all of our Scouts, as well as their family and friends, to join us!
Watch our Camp 2021 video here to learn about the changes to this year’s camping experience.
