Troop 55 - Dexter, NY

Another successful November backpacking trip in the books!

Troop 55 would like to Congratulate Perry D. on his Brotherhood Honor.

Over the last few Troop Meetings our Scouts have been working on the Pioneering Merit Badge. Cant wait to practice these skills on future campouts!

Troop 55 had a blast attending the Brotherhood Camporee at Wellesley Island State Park! The weather and fall foliage was amazing! Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend!!

Troop 55 would like to congratulate Rhett B. on the successful installation of his Eagle Scout Project. Rhett lead a crew to build food pantry storage for the Emanuel Congregational Church. Rhett regularly serves food from this location to those in need. In his service he learned about the need for this project! Great work Rhett!!

Troop 55 had an adventure filled weekend in the Adirondacks! Our Scouts had an opportunity to camp at Massawepie Scout Camp and hike Ampersand Mountain. Our Scouts climbed over 1,800 feet of elevation gain and 6 miles. This portion of the Adirondack’s was near peak fall foilage giving us a spectacular weekend to camp and hike. Great Job Scouts!
