Nickerson Bike Trip- 9/30-10/2

On September 30th, 2011, we drove up to Nickerson State Park in Cape Cod for our bike trip.  We set up camp, made dinner, and went to bed.  When my tent woke up in the morning, our tent was in a three in deep puddle from the rain the previous night.  Luckily, the floor of the tent held and nothing got wet.  After breakfast, it was raining so we decided to go to a tower nearby.  We climbed to the top of the tower and enjoyed the view before returning to camp and starting out on the trip. We all stopped at Marconi Beach for lunch and then continued on back to camp, while the 50 milers went farther.  On the way back, we stopped at the candy/ice cream store for a rest, and finished up back at camp.  We all had a good time and everybody should go next time because it was awesome.

Days of Caring Food Drive 9/24

On Saturday September 24, the troop participated in the annual Days of Caring food drive.  We are usually the food banks largest group at these events.  The troop had a great turnout and so did the food bank considering they didn't have much advertisement.  It was a great time and everybody should participate next time because everybody needs community service and fun.
