Summer Camp Trip Those of you planning to attend this year's summer camp should read about details in this 15-page information packet. Be sure to scroll down to see it all. Jamboree/Summer Camp trip Reserve these dates for our summer trip! July 30 is the planned departure date - a Friday. We'll travel to a scout camp in Virginia where we'll stay overnight before going to the National Scout Jamboree on Saturday. On Sunday, we'll leave from the Virginia camp and head for Camp Rodney in North East Maryland for a week at scout camp. Our site looks right out onto Chesapeake Bay - and the camp specializes in waterfront activities. There are even two special programs for older scouts, and activities that we won't see at JN Webster. This full week is expected to cost less than a week at JN Webster this year. We're working on one more activitiy to add to the list - but since we've reserved our spots, the week is now set - and you can put these dates on your calendar now! There will be more info on this trip coming to you by the time of our next troop meeting. LaserQuest The Dec. 9 troop meeting will take place at Laser Quest in Newington! Plan to arrive around 6:40 PM for a night of fun with the troop. The night will include three games and refreshments between games. Plan to pick up scouts at around 8:45 or so. Cost will be $15 - payable in advance so that we can confirm the reservations. This will replace our troop meeting for that week. Please bring it with you to the troop meeting on Dec. 2. Scouting for Food The 2009 Scouting for Food drive was a fantastic success. Check out these photos of Scouts in action. This is truly a demonstration of community service.

Eagle Court of Honor On Sunday, Sept. 20 at 2 p.m. at South Windsor fire headquarters on Ellington Road, we will have the honor of awarding the rank of Eagle Scout to Greg Stonoha.
