Troop 315 July Newsletter
Summer Camp 2022 at PSR photo. This year, we took 16 scouts and 4 leaders to Pioneer Scout Reservation. Scouts earned quite a few merit badges and took 2nd place at waterball. The memories will last a lifetime for a scout who goes to camp. over 600 scouts and leaders attend the first week. They were in good companyElections
The next 2 meetings on July 3rd and 10th will be troop elections. Annually, scouts vote on the next leaders for their troop. Boy led requires a Senior Patrol Leader and his Assistant SPL, 3 Patrol leaders for the 3 patrols and their Assistants, Troop Guide, Scribe, Quartermaster, Chaplin’s Aid, Historian. Thes ranks help a scout advance in their path towards Eagle. Speaking of Eagle. Jesse, Isaiah and Aaron are all working at that rank currently.
