Troop 25 Travels to Connecticut for an Overnight
As overnight camping is prohibited in New York and New Jersey due to Covid-19 regulations, Troop 25 travelled to the Hoyt Scout Reservation in West Redding, CT, for a successful overnight. A day of Scouting events ended with a meatball and spaghetti dinner followed by a home cooked desert.
Sub Freezing Temperatures No Match for Troop 25
On Saturday, March 6th, Troop 25 spent the day and subsequent night at Camp Bullowa. Approximately 20 Boy Scouts, Scout parents, and Webelos from Pack 94 spent the day enjoying numerous activities followed by an evening dinner and a roaring campfire. 10 Scouts and parents then stayed overnight in tents. Despite the 20 degree temperatures and high winds everyone was prepared for the weather and made it through the night!

At this point everyone should be staying home. Of course this makes most Scouting activities unavailable, but there are a few things Scouts can do while at or around their homes:
