Boy Scout Troop 380

Thanks to all who supported our Fish Fry fundraiser.  Here are some pictures from our trip to Maine last summer.  This summer, we will backpack in western Virginia, and in 2018 we will ride horseback in rural New Mexico.  Funds from the Fish Fry support those big trips and year-round camping, leadership and character development.

Troop 380 set off to Camp Bowman at Goshen Scout Reservation this morning.  It was a nice sunny day for the troop to head off to camp.  After shuffling the gear around in the bus a bit, all the scouts were loaded and were ready to head out.  We will see them when they return next week with a number of merit badges and rank advancements completed.
