Troop 5, Middlebury, CT

I finally (!) uploaded pictures from Summer Camp last year.  You can check them out in the photo gallery.  I also added pictures from this past weekend’s Philmont Shakedown hike.

Enjoy them.

The Philmont section of the website has been updated with the current dates for the crew meetings and shakedowns – please check there or the troop calendar on the website for the most up-to-date information on our Philmont trek

Our next crew meeting will be Monday, March 10th at the church. Please bring your backpack packed as if you were going to Philmont. I know that you don’t have the official packing list yet, so this is a chance for you to take what you have learned over the years and decide what you think you will need. Use your resources!

We will also be picking the top 5 itineraries for your trek. At our last meeting, you indicated your interests, and I ran those through the computer to find the 10 best matches. We will look at each of the treks and pour over the maps to make the decision as to your top 5 choices.

Keep up your physical conditioning – you should be exercising at least 3 days a week for 30 minutes a day at this point.

See you on March 10th

Hey Crew 714-C-3,

We are going to begin to have regular crew meetings as we get closer to this summer. Our first crew meeting will be Monday, February 11 from 7-9 pm at the church.

At this meeting we will schedule a regular time for our meetings and our shakedown hikes, so bring your calendars.

It is VERY important that you make every crew meeting and activity from now until Philmont. You have committed to being a part of the crew, and the crew needs YOU to make the trek a success!!

See you on the 11th!
