We had an excellent Thanksgiving in the Woods campout at the Haynes Cabin and Camp Nobscot last November. We cooked turkey with orange slices in dutch ovens on a wood burning stove and had mashed potatoes and sweet corn as well. The meal was outstanding!
We had an outstanding campout to Sandy Neck on Cape Cod. In under 24 hours, our Scouts and parent attendees hiked nearly 9 miles with 30+ pound packs. The weather on Saturday was very clear. We had light rain early the morning before we left our tents to have breakfast and break camp.
Here are a few photos from our last Scout meeting with wall climbing at Vertical Dreams in Nashua. We have many talented Scout climbers!
We had an excellent cabin campout at Camp Nobscot the weekend of March 16, 2024. We stayed in a great cabin deep in the Nobscot reservation, and we took a hike to the top of Nobsot Mountain and Tipling Rock. The views were quite beautiful on the clear day we had. We could even see a part of the Boston skyline far in the distance.
Scounts had a fun ski trip at Sugarbush the weekend of February 10-12, 2024, staying at the condominium that Mr. Selig provided for the group.
On Saturday, February 3, Troop 135 Scouts worked hard and had fun helping the Conservation Commission with removing white pines and maples from the Cranberry Bog. This is part of the efforts to restore and maintain the Cranberry Bog as a wet meadow habitat.
Many trees were removed using saws and loppers, and carried to where they will be picked up by the DPW.
We had an outstanding Klondike Derby overnight campout at the Treasure Valley Scout Reservation on Saturday, January 27, 2024. Our crew had to work through a series of challenges throughout the derby, and we learned a lot along the way. Our most impressive success was the bucket transit challenge using lashed boards and ropes (photos below). We had to get a bucket with a 10 lb. weight over an imaginary river, without touching the river. The judges commented that our Scouts’ approach was the most sophisticated engineering solution of the day!
We had an excellent Thanksgiving in the Woods campout this weekend at Towle Field. Our two patrols cooked fantastic turkey dinners!
We appreciate the strong leadership of our Scouts William Fairbank, Andrew Newman, Adam Synnestvedt, and Matthew Evans.
