Trips and Summer Camp
|
Troop 137 averages one trip per month. Generally trips leave
Friday Night or Saturday Morning returning Sunday Afternoon.
Trips include ski trips to the Pocono Mountains, hiking trips
on the Appalachian Trail, horseback riding, white water rafting, and
several others.
It is the Scouts responsibility to tell parents about upcoming trips
and required equipment. It is not unusual to learn specific details
until the Thursday Night Meeting.

It is important to the Troop that all Scouts going on the trip be
available for the entire trip. It is important all Scouts learn how
to pack and how to breakdown from the trip. For this reason we
urge the Scout to commit to the entire trip.
The year always ends with summer camp. Summer camp may be at Ockanickon
or any other Scout Reservation. This is a full week and an excellent
opportunity for the Scouts to earn Merit Badges. At summer camp the Scouts
are exposed to merit badge conselors not otherwise available.
