Event Review
| September 10, 2023 | Court of Honor We held our semi-annual Court of Honor in conjunction with Troop 146 and it was really nice event! There were tons of awards, merit badges and rank advancements handed out to our scouts. |
| September 15-17, 2023 | Cold Mountain The Cold Mountain trip was broken into two treks; one a more challenging backpacking trip that included a 2300+ ft. elevation gain and the extra difficulty factor of hiking down the mountain in pouring rain. The less challenging trek was a short trip to the Graveyard Fields parking area on the Blue Ridge Parkway where the group hiked the Upper Graveyard Falls trail (about a 4-mile round trip) with a trail lunch at the waterfall. In addition to some spectacular views along the Blue Ridge Parkway, there were some interesting wildlife observations, including wild turkeys and a Timber Rattler! |
Upcoming Events
| October 2023 | Patch 46 Patch 46 is the other annual fundraiser and occurs all through the month of October. This was very successful last year and we’re looking forward to it being even better this year. |
| October 21-22, 2023 | The Great Pumpkin Stakeout This is a new event for Troop 46. We didn’t do a camping trip last October to make sure everyone was available to work shifts at the Pumpkin Sale. This year we’re going to do an overnight camping event at the church. We’ll arrive early afternoon on Saturday, October 21, 2023, and set up a campsite. We’ll make dinner (with a focus on going “over the camp cooking” edge) and possibly do S’mores that the children of Pumpkin shoppers can participate in. We’ll prepare breakfast on Sunday morning, break camp and pack up gear. |
| November 17-19, 2023 | Shooting Sports Troop 46 will travel to and camp at Camp Barstow on Lake Murray, just west of Columbia, SC near Batesburg, SC. We have obtained the service of the shooting sports staff to open the rifle and shotgun ranges as well as the tomahawk range. The shooting sports staff at Camp Barstow and provides an event to remember for the scouts. |
