Summer camp is the highlight of the Scouting year!  We are supporting our Council and going to Resica Falls July 2-8 this year.  Join us for a top-notch first-year summer camp program to complete lots of rank requirements through First Class, or choose from more than 70 merit badge opportunities, including many required for the rank of Eagle Scout.  Enjoy the Polar Bear swim each morning as well as evening programs [open swim, open shoot (archery, rifle)] during the week.  We are tentatively planning a pre-camp meeting on May 22 for our campers.  Resica Falls is one of our favorite summer camps, and you don't want to miss it!  Registration for merit badges opens April 1 so sign up today!

Our May campout will be at Marsden Tract Group Campground in Potomac MD.  We have the option to take our bikes and pedal to Washington DC to visit the Mall area.  The campsite is nestled in the woods between the C&O Canal and the Potomac River.  More information and registration can be found here.

Our April trip is backpacking in Wharton State Forest (Pine Barrens) in New Jersey.  This one-night trip begins Saturday morning to grab gear, travel to the park, and hike to the campground, leaving vehicles behind.  We will begin our scenic six-mile backpacking hike to the Lower Forge Campground, set up camp, and plan our afternoon and evening activities.  This is a great trip for all levels of backpacking experience.  We will allocate time during our April troop meetings to prepare for the trip.

We are grateful to help St. Christopher's Episcopal Church prepare for their annual Azalea Day, moving items from the church out to tables.  We might also assist with setting up tents/canopies.  This is a wonderful opportunity for Scouts to earn some service hours for rank advancement, but more importantly to support our charter organization.
