Jones Spring Campout May 16-18

Troop 1468's second spring camp was held in the Jones Spring area, near Townsend. A hike in to the carry-in sites revealed a secluded lake with plenty of opportunity to fish, hike, and take in the sights. The boys got to practice their lightweight camping skills--it's been amazing to see the transformation from "I'll bring everything but the kitchen sink" packing for the weekend to "What can I fit in one backpack?" The boys also did a fantastic job with their menus, creating a "no refrigeration needed" shopping list and setting troop records for the least amount of money spent per person and generating virtually no leftovers while still keeping everybody fed.

Two Complete Scoutmaster Training

Recently, Mike Verba (first row, 2nd from left) and Corey Gallagher (first row, 4th from left) completed Boy Scout Leader Training for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters. For Mr. Verba, this was a refresher course, as he also took training last year. Troop 1468 has a strong contingent of trained adults--thanks to everyone who volunteers their time in both training and service.
