Our troop’s activities include camping once a month. The leaders decided that they would kick off the year with an overnight at our scout house. This would give the boys, especially the newest ones, an opportunity to work on basic skills and get them signed off before our court of honor next weekend. We do […]
Welcome to camp! These boys were ready for fun. Bill kindly sent back lots of pictures and updates while he was there. The scouts raised and lowered the flags at their campsite, Dogwood Back, each day. They stay in permanent tents like this. To give an idea of the size of the camp, this is […]
Our scouts circled up for prayer and a photo before departing to Camp Ransburg for a week. This is the second time Mason is attending and he is one of the older scouts in this group. Bill and Captain D are sharing a week of leadership there while John and Brad attend for the full […]
Tonight was the Mother’s Day Banquet/Court of Honor. A number of the fathers worked with the (mostly younger) scouts to prepare salad, pasta and dessert. While it is wonderful that they prepared dinner, one of my favorite parts was listening to the senior scouts and the fathers teaching them etiquette like how to serve to […]

The troop headed out to camp at Mammoth Caves this weekend. This big group was camping together for the first time as many had newly crossed over. These five are some of the veterans. They ate well! Mason is sandwiched between the two other hammocks. They did some hiking and had a lot of fun.
Once again our troop participated in the retreat planned by the Diocesan Catholic Committee. The theme this year was aspects of Mary and specifically, this verse: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.” (Luke 1:30) We had quite a number of scouts in attendance. In fact, our troop may […]
Tonight’s Blue and Gold Meeting tonight was the first time in many, many years that the Selby family was only involved on the Boy Scout side of the table. Blue and Gold is hosted by the Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts are their guests. This meant we just showed up! After dinner, the Cub […]
It started with service. Our troop has been hired for the last few years to help with an annual event called Super Bride Sunday. This expo takes place on Super Bowl Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM and gives brides the opportunity to mix with vendors and service providers for all things bridal. As […]
