Scouty Update

Troop - Spent the weekend at Stearns Camp last weekend - It was beautiful and spacious. You can rent gear (BB's, Archery equiptment, Ski's and even patrol boxes!). The cabin was nice but buggy - warm, with a flush toilet and shower and 4 RV hookups outside.


Pack - We had a pack meeting tonight, and held our graduation ceremony. I know it can not be official for another two months, and we didn't know so half my Tigers (and my wife) missed it. Next week my Tiger will go visit a plastics factory.

Camp - Day camp will be Sherburne Wildlife Refuge, at the old schoolhouse - I visited it last week with the D.E. and a representive of the refuge (and the District Ctte.). Looks very doable. Had a parents meeting last week (same day). Looks good , three days, $25 - Archery, BB ranges and a bouldering wall.

S. is looking at joining a crew going to the Boundary waters in June for 9 days, except I don't have $550. D. is looking at going on the Troops Whitewater trip (just a weekend).

Updates (and expansions) to follow.

House Update

The Torrington House is rented out, they signed a lease for a year. Maybe the market will have settled by then - I don't think you can sell anything that's not outright robbery right now. Plus, we'll be a year closer to the courthouse by them.
