Our January bottle redemption fundraiser is starting to wind down. Please continue to help spread the word to friends, families, co-workers.  

Happy New Year!!!   Let us kick-off “2022” by supporting two local Winooski Scout Troops (3752 and 658). During the month of January, bring your returnable cans and bottles to Beverage Warehouse in Winooski. Direct your voucher to be saved “for Scouts”. For people that wish to make a contribution directly to the scouting program, please send your contribution to Michael Parascando, 226 Cobblestone Circle, South Burlington, VT 05403. Please make your contribution payable to “Troop 658”.  Thank you for your support.

The Vermont 4-H Program and the UVM College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (CEMS) have teamed up to host a variety of programs the entire month of February 2022 to promote the field of engineering. Our goal is to expose youth to engineering, build skills and help youth understand different pathways they can take to pursue a future as an engineer.

Troop 658 is proud to announce our newest Eagle Scout, A. Parascando who completed his board of review this evening. The Eagle Scout rank symbolizes the culmination of years of hard work and many lessons learned. More importantly it symbolizes character, leadership and personal growth.

Congratulations!

In our first combined meeting, Troops 3752 and 658 practiced our fire safety skills and learned about how to read and use fire extinguishers to be prepared in emergency situations. We look forward to more combined scouting opportunities for the troops! Thank you to all members of the troop who donated extinguishers for the scouts to use in this meeting.
