Welcome New Scouts!

T

roop 227 welcomes two new scouts, Jorge and Jose. Let’s all encourage these two fine young men as they journey toward becoming Eagle Scouts!

Montgomery Bell Outing

O

n our November campout we went to scenic Montgomery Bell State Park. During this outing we cooked all of our meals over an open fire. The younger scouts completed first aid requirements while the older scouts taught. Some scouts even earned their Totin’ Chip. This is a wonderful place for enjoying nature with fellow scouts!
