Pack 262 Crossover

On March 21, 2022 Pack 262 had a crossover, in which Troop 834 participated. We happily welcome our new scouts: Anthony, Chas, Isaac, John, Matthew, Nico, and Patrick!

 

Robinson Mall Recruitment Event

At Robinson Mall Troop 834 participated in a contest for the best recruiting table . The scouts answered questions that judges asked them, and because of their fantastic answers, showing their knowledge of the troop and of scouting, Troop 834 received a trophy for the best recruiting table . Thanks to everyone who participated! 

New form for Parents to sign

There is a new clearance/waiver required by Laural Highlands Scout Council: PA Resident Volunteer Verification

Please print a copy and sign. You can either scan and email to Trish (email here – preferred to make her life easier) or bring the signed copy to a meeting for Trish.

Holiday Auction

Before Thanksgiving, we had a holiday auction to raise funds for our troop. The scouts had a good time bidding for unknown items and had some refreshments with it. Thanks to everyone for helping and participating in a successful auction.

November Recruitment Event

Troop 834 had a November Recruitment Day to show potential new scouts what activities we do. The activities included axe throwing, slingshots, and archery. Many potential scouts participated in the events and had a great time meeting the scouts and adults of Troop 834. Thanks to all of the adults that helped out with refreshments on that cold day. Those snacks and drinks really warmed us up!

Octoberfest Recruiting

A quick shout out and thanks to some of our scouts for their awesome afternoon of activities and help while recruiting at the 2021 Octoberfest located at Scott Park on Saturday, October 2, 2021. Activities included: throwing darts at the balloon board, a water bottle flip, milk jug bowling, and of course cornhole!  Many scouts and parents helped throughout the day to make this an exciting and fun event for everyone. Nice job Troop 834!

Scouting through Quarantine

Even though we are all in this quarantine that doesn’t mean that we have to stop scouting.  Now is when we should more than ever since we all have time. During this whole thing why not work on merit badges, or work on rank requirements. You cam print out at home a merit badge worksheet and fill it out and then bring it to the next scout meeting and find a parent who is an instructor in that merit badge and you can work with them to get it. If you need help, reach out. Reach out to an older scout who has the merit badge. See if there is anything they could help you with. Here is a link where you can find the requirements for every merit badge. Let’s see how many merit badges you can get done!

COVID-19 Meetings

These are tough times right now but scouting continues on. Throughout quarantine we started off having our meetings virtually over Zoom video conference and that was working nicely. Recently we ha e been fortunate enough to be able to go back to in person meetings. They have been small meetings at local parks and precautions have been taken during meetings to ensure the safety of all our scouts. Scouting stops for nothing and you can still be a scout even throughout this whole ordeal.

Great weekend of Ropes & Obstacles course

This is before…We all made it back, but you don’t want to see the shape some were in!!

Great weather and even better time on the Ropes and Obstacle course at Adventure Creek in Ohio. Thanks to our guides at Adventure Creek Max and Xavier for a great day!

Even the parents joined in and had a great time!
