Do a good turn daily and Support your community! These are 2 of the hallmarks of Scouting values instilled through Boy Scouting. As a good example of this it’s nice to see PJ and Dom showcase these traits as they took the lead at their school recently when the school had a 9/11 remembrance ceremony. The 2 scouts were asked to assist a local veteran in unfolding and raising the American Flag in front of the whole school.
Our hats off to PJ and Dom for a great job representing the true qualities scouting!
Troop 834 has been known to do many activities in order to further expand the knowledge of our scouts. In tonight’s meeting, we did a team building activity that was fun for the whole troop. The activity for the meeting was a craft that Keegan Kraeuter, our senior patrol leader, had prepared. The troop created pine cone bird-feeders by dipping pine cones in peanut butter and then covering them in bird seed. The idea behind the project was to do something that would not only be fun, but it would also be a good alternative to the plastic bird feeders that are sold in stores. The activity proved to be exciting and a good way to help our scouts work together to create something new.
If you’re in 5th grade or 11 years old, then your eligible to join our troop. We welcome you to visit us any Thursday night at 7pm and talk with us.
