Spring Camporee

We had so much fun at the Spring Camporee. We did many things including shooting .22 rifles and slingshots. We also had to see which plants are edible and poisonous, and afterward tried out some dandelion tea. Our new Troop 380 scouts came too, Will Fenton and Alex Klein.

Almost 100 people gathered at St. James Parish Center on Sunday, June 4, 2017 to celebrate the 50 chartered years of the Troop.  More than 10 of the Troop’s past 47 Eagles were there and many friends and family gathered to celebrate the McKinley family’s 30 year history leading the Troop.Troop380_50 - 9Troop380_50 - 12Troop380_50 - 17

Photos and memorabilia from the last 50 years were on display, too.

 

Eagle Mom, Penny accepted the Eagle award for her son, Brian Glenn. He earned his Eagle rank back in 2001, but was not able to have an Eagle ceremony.

 

Some current and recent patrol members in attendance posed with their patrol flags.

 

Scout Austin Sage was in charge of the music for the day’s event. Thank you, Austin.

 

These were the Eagles in attendance at one point in the afternoon:
