Bring Headlamps! It’s getting dark earlier and they are needed!
Wood Chopping:
It looks like our in person meetings will be held outside for quite some time, so in true scouting manner we will prepare! At the Troop Meeting, we’ll be chopping and sorting dead wood for weekly campfires
If you have loppers, camp saws, bow saws, etc, this would be a great time to try them out!
