Dear Troop 44 Families:
Thank you so much for your incredibly generous gift. We were able to use it to purchase a snow blower. Thank you so much for being a part of our lives. We are so proud and each and every one of you!

It was a hot day, but all the cyclists made it to the end.

Summer Camp is over for another year

How do you evaluate the summer camp experience?
It’s not by how many merit badges you earned – everyone got at least four and some more. The quality of the instruction was not always great, and yet areas like the shooting range and the lake had wonderful staff who went above and beyond. We don’t test the Scouts knowledge after a merit badge is completed. That is up to the counselor. Some are ridiculously easy – like the ones taught in one evening, but the ones that are meaningful are the ones that it took effort to earn.
