Life to Eagle Conference - Update

This past Saturday, at St. Jane de Chantal, a meeting was held for Scouts, Leaders and others who may be interested in learning what it takes (policy/procedures/paperwork) to be an Eagle Scout in the National Capital Area Council, Montgomery District.

Here are a couple of photos from the three hour event.

The Year: 1959

In 1959, the numbers crept up a bit more to 78 Scouts. There were ten Star Scouts, thirteen First Class Scouts and seventeen Second Class Scouts.

George Carnnahan earned the rank of Eagle Scout.

William Adams was the Troop Quartermaster.

Patrols: Ranger, Apache, Panther and Wolf.

Dues were $.75 per month.

Does anyone know where any of these Scouts are today?

The Year: 1958

By 1958, the number of Scouts shot up to 71.

There were three Star Scouts with John Masseo as one of them. He was also the oldest Scout in the Troop. There were also two First Class and seventeen Second Class Scouts. Joseph F. Nevin earned Life in 1960.

Patrol Leaders: Donald Atwell, Charles M. Foltyn, Jr., and Joseph F. Nevin.

Most of the Scouts came from St. John’s, we also had others come from Oakland Terrance and Glen Haven. Does anyone know where these Scouts are today?

The Year: 1957

Based on the Troop Archives, the number of Scouts jumped to 48 in 1957! There was one Star Scout (John D. Masseo, Jr. of 1325 Dale Dr.), two First Class Scouts, and nine Second Class Scouts.

The oldest Scout in the Troop was Mr. Masseo, Jr.

Camp Snyder - September 2009

For the second year in a row, Troop 466 has invited the Cubs of Pack 466 (as well as parents and siblings) to Camp Snyder for a weekend of fun and service. (Almost sounds like the OA.)

Here are a couple of photos* from that event taken by Scoutmaster Len Incognito. To see the complete set of photos, please go here.

Camp Bowman - Goshen Scout Camp 2009 (Set 11)

After a fun but exhausting week, in which the Scouts learned some new skills, deepened friendships, made memories that will last a lifetime and learned a bit more about themselves, it is time to say goodbye to Camp Bowman.

Each of us have wonderful memories. For some, it was the very first time at Boy Scout Summer Camp. (And the first time away from home.) For others, it was a chance to relive the memories of their youth.

No matter if it was your first to tenth, each time is different and each time is memorable.
