Boy Scout Troop 90 Wants You!
Join the Adventure!
All boys 11 years old and up or having completed 5th grade are invited to join Blessed Sacrament’s Boy Scout Troop 90!
Scouting gives young people the opportunity to explore a world beyond the boundaries of everyday life and build a love for the outdoors. They get to try new things, develop friendships, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and develop leadership skills. And have fun while doing it!
Our fall is already packed with planned activities including an overnight on the USS New Jersey, camping on Assateague Island, and a camping/hiking trip to the Civil War battlefield in Petersburg, VA.
Additional Troop 90 activities include:
· Monthly Camping trips at various places generally within the greater DMV area
· Earning merit badges such as first aid, emergency preparedness, wilderness survival, citizenship in the world, nation, and community, and many others
· Earning religious emblems through Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII
· Serving the community through the Greg Gannon Food Drive and other service projects
· Skiing/snowboarding at Wisp and Snowshoe
· Rock Climbing at Seneca Rocks, WV
· Fishing in the Chesapeake Bay
· Caving at Whitings Neck, WV
· Hiking and Backpacking at the Philmont National Scout Ranch in New Mexico
· Canoeing in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota
· Scuba Diving at St. Croix Sea Base, VI
We have Troop meetings Wednesday nights from 7:30 - 8:30 pm in the Blessed Sacrament Parish Center – along with hikes, monthly campouts, and other outdoor activities. Our first meeting of the year will be Wednesday night, September 4th and our first campout will be in late September. Please come by anytime and check it out. No obligation. No scouting experience necessary.
Come join the adventure – where the best part of reaching your goal is the journey!
