Update from BSA Troop 181

Posted By Debbie Bellew

BSA Troop 181 met weekly in Schieck Hall to work on the American Business merit badge and rank advancement for our younger Scouts, and to prepare for their recent tent camping trip. Two more camping trips are planned for the school year before the big summer camp week over Fourth of July. In addition to learning new skills, the troop enjoys the chance to be of service -- as one example, the entire troop gathered in April to plant flowers on the BUMC grounds. Several older Scouts are currently preparing larger Eagle projects to give back to the community. If you know of boys ages 11-18 who are interested in joining the troop, please email joinpaoli181@gmail.com. Thank you, Berwyn United Methodist Church!
