On November 7th, our troop distributed door tags to promote our scouting for food service on the 14th. We will be out collecting food to distribute to the local food pantry.
Every year we have a Court of Honor where we award our scouts with the badges and other awards that they have gained though-out the year. We had many great achievers this year.
This summer troop 895 went to camp Powhatan at the Blue Ridge Scout Reservation where we enjoyed a week of summer fun and adventures our scouts along with other scouts from other troops learned merit badges and other skills.
Troop 895 recently went on one of our favorite annual campouts…. Kayaking the scouts had a blast on the historic river and enjoyed the beautiful views.
We recently went indoor skydiving at an IFly building and took a class on aerodynamics. We also served a pancake breakfast to the congregation of our sponsor church.
On the15th and 16th of November troop 895 traveled to the Shenandoah for an exciting hiking campout. Our younger scouts participated in regular but still difficult hiking and returned to our campsite. Our older scouts participated in a 10-mile uphill backpacking trip that had them pitch their tents on a backcountry trail and continue to the rest of the troop in the morning.
