Members of Troop 658 enjoyed beautiful weather over Labor Day Weekend during a camp out at DAR State Park. Scouts hiked up Snake Mountain, over 1000 feet in elevation from the starting point and 5 miles round trip. Sunday morning Scouts hiked just about 4 miles round trip to the bridge at Chimney Point. The bridge overlooks the ruins of Fort Crown Point, a Colonial era fort, just across the VT/NY state border. Scouts cooked or prepared individualized meals which ranged from pasta dishes to dehydrated meals (just add water!). Couldn't have asked for better weather.

Matt and Dad with Boat Rack

Life Scout Matt B. sends a huge "Thank You!" to those Scouts and adults who helped him with his Eagle Scout project over the weekend of August 22-23, 2020. The boat rack (seen above with Matt and his Dad) is in place at Grand Isle State Park and looks great. Matt reports the Park representative was very happy with how it turned out. Matt said the Scouts who assisted were amazing and he couldn't have done it without them and their hard work.

Welcome back Scouts!
