Scouts in Troop 185 home from Camp Crooked Creek From Ty Coleman, Senior Patrol Leader Troop 185 just returned from Boy Scout camp. Camp is one of the activities the troop looks forward to the most. This year we went to Camp Crooked Creek in Shepherdsville, KY. Camp offers a wide selection of merit badges and fun evening activities. Our troop was represented by six of our members. Each scout had an opportunity to earn up to six merit badges. Merit badges are awards earned by scouts when requirements are completed related to a certain topic such as woodworking and photography. Some merit badges that our troop completed were small boat sailing, welding, first aid, pioneering, and shot gun. Other activities scouts enjoyed included riding ATVs and climbing a high ropes course. One camp-wide event was the Mafeking Challenge. Mafeking is an event where troops form teams and compete against one another in a timed event involving scout-based skills while running all over camp. Some evening activities were a three-on-three basketball tournament, a fishing derby, and a Vespers church service. This year the boys got to develop and use their leadership skills. I was honored by my troop electing me into the Order of the Arrow, which is the honor and service society of Scouts. We also prayed in front of the entire camp before a meal. The troop is looking to grow our ranks! We are looking for boys ages eleven to seventeen to join scouts. We meet every Monday night at Columbia United Methodist Church and do at least one additional outdoor activity each month like camping, kayaking, or service projects. You can contact Mark Coleman, our Scoutmaster, at 270-250-3926. This story was posted on 2023-07-15 22:29:09
