Scout Day at the National Medical Museum (Part One)

 A couple of our Scouts attended Scout Day at the National Medical Museum in Silver Spring MD.   They not only had a great time but learned quite a bit.

Playing Cricket

 Well, it seems that at the last meeting, the Scouts decided to play cricket.  

I can say that this is the first time in my almost 20 years with the troop that the Scouts played cricket.

Christmas Tree Sale 2023 Update.

Scout Troop 466 will once again sell trees this December in the Church parking lot.   After vendor issues, the pandemic, and fewer growers, we were able to find a new supplier.  

This year, we will be selling a hybrid Fraser/Balsam tree.  This will be a new product for us and we believe that this will be a wonderful addition to your Christmas tradition. 

The bulk of the trees will be in the 6' to 7' range.  However, we will have a smaller number in the 5' to 6' and 7' to 8' range.  

Our plan is to open up sales on Saturday, December 2nd. 

For the exact sale schedule, please look for a future announcement in the bulletin and here.

Visit by the Thomas Stone DAR President

 At our opening meeting, we were visited by Cheryl Beauregard, President of the Thomas Stone Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).

 

 

Assisting with the Pack 23 Recruitment Drive

 Troop 466 assisted with the Pack 23 Recruitment Drive on Saturday, Sept. 9th from 1pm to 4:3pm.  St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church is located in downtown Silver Spring, MD.

 The troop display consisted of tents, a campfire and a cooking station.  Blueberry cobbler was on he menu.   Approximately 60 children and 20 adults turned out for the event.  In addition, two other troops participated in the event.

Note that we completed an Eagle Scout project a few years ago there, and as you can see in the first photo, it is still there. 

Thank you to all the Scouts and the Leaders who participated.

 

 

Heading off to Summer Camp Bowman (Goshen)

 On Sunday, July 9th Scouts and Scouters from Troop 466 headed down to Goshen Scout Camp.  Here are a few photos before they left.  (Apologies, but I know I missed a couple of Scouts and leaders but I had to leave and took whatever photos I could.)
