Troop 880's Annual Canoe Trip (June 4th - June 6th)

 

The EXCITING annual canoe trip on the Delaware River is open to all scouts, parents and family members; water-guns and super-soakers are legal!! This is one of our most popular camping trips- don't miss it! Troop 880 will be traveling to upstate New York on Friday evening to Kittatinny Campgrounds.  After breakfast, we will be bussed  to Narrowsburg to start our exciting, lazy river adventure!! We will have many breaks for: site seeing, Eagle sightings, Water Wars, recovering from shooting the rapids-as well as taking an hour for lunch on the river. Sunday morning pack-up and be on the road to home by 10:00am. Those that choose to stay and participate in the paint ball option . They will transport us up to the mountain top playing fields (where there are bunkers, large rock formations and natural cover) overlooking the Delaware river; in a military troop transport truck.

Troop 880 Summer Camp at

JN Webster Scout Reservation

(July 11 - July 17)

 

Scouting at its Best... We spent our mornings working on some of the over thirty outdoor merit badges that were available or our younger scouts learned basic Scout skills at First Class Path.  After lunch, we could head for the rifle, shotgun, and archery ranges to hone our marksmanship skills, or we just went into the lake for some swimming, boating, or for a spirited game of watermelon water polo.  Whether we completed the First Aid merit badge or BSA Life Guard, there were programs that helped us develop skills and allowed us create memories that will last a lifetime.

Appalachian Trail  Hiking Campout (March 26 - March 28)

 

The troop picked up from where we left off on the Appalachian Trail last spring.   This hike was a 7.1 mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail. We hiked through woodlands that ranged from scrubby to mature forests. We crossed several bog bridges which lead across marshy areas.  There was many high elevated swamps which empty into the largest watershed in Dutchess County.
