Troop 28 Historian

Feed your Face

This year the troop was invited to join an Old Colony Council camporee at Camp Squanto. The theme of this camporee was ‘Feed Your Face’. So it stood to reason that it was all about food. Fourteen scouts participated from Troop 28. Scattered throughout the weekend were various food-related activities, all the way from ice cream making to cantaloupe carving to a scoutmaster chili contest. The first night was very rainy and dreary. The second night was better though. On the ride back to Cohasset with full stomachs we were all looking forward to real beds.

This year the Cape Cod Rail Trail bike trip was a large success with many scouts riding along with their bicycles. In total the distance biked was around 50 miles, split between two days of camping in Nickerson State Park. Around the campfire the troop enjoyed skits, songs, and stories while nursing sore muscles after a long ride. Dutch oven cooking was a hit with four Dutch ovens on the fire at one point. This year there were no major falls or injuries. The next day we finished the 50 miles and drove home.

This year much of the troop had a blast during a week Camp Squanto. Over the summer scouts worked on the various merit badges offered at camp. They also participated in the daily activities planned by the troop for when they didn’t have class. The theme this year was snorkeling and many scouts arrived with scuba masks and snorkels. The food was good, the weather was nice and some enjoyed it so much that they stayed an extra week as part of the Provisional troop. The total number of merit badges earned at Squanto this year is an astounding 55 badges. Robbie Hillman proudly represented Troop 28 as the Camp Squanto staff bugler.
