Open Year - Goshen Scout Camp 1967

Well, it seems that Troop 466 spent a week at Goshen Scout Camp's Opening Year.

Each Scout received a special Goshen Charter Camper Medal.

Did you attend? Do you still have the medal?

Catholic Retreat 1967

Troop 466 participated in the Catholic Retreat from April 21 -23, 1967. Fr. Mordino, stationed at St. John's, was the County Chaplain for Scouts and there were apx. 250 Scouts in attendance.

The troop came in 2nd Place for the Shrine Competition. Can any of our readers shed a little light on this?

We also have a letter from a Walter P. Kennedy, a member of Congress, who seems to be have been involved in this event as a Scout leader.

Does anyone know anything else about this event? Do you have any memories of it?
