Our Activities…
Troop 50 provides an active outdoor program. We hold monthly overnight weekend camping trips, numerous scouting activities each month, an annual week-long summer camp, as well as an annual high adventure excursion for our older and more experienced Scouts. We also participate in various community service projects to promote good citizenship in our Scouts and to emphasize our relationship and obligations to others, to the society we live in, and to our government.
