This year on November 5-6 the troop went to Franconia Notch in New Hampshire instead of the Mt. Monadnock Trip because roads were closed due to heavy snow in the park.  A total of 18 scouts participated.

We departed from Cohasset early Saturday morning.  When we arrived at Franconia State Park we set up camp and after lunch, got right to hiking. As we neared the top of the trail we started to encounter snow and ice which can be dangerous if you are not paying attention.  That night we went night hiking by the river next to the campsite, which was a lot of fun.

The next day, Sunday, we climbed up alongside a series of beautiful waterfalls which made the steep ascent well worth the energy spent getting there.  This was a great trip because it’s really what scouting is all about – cooking, making camp, sleeping in typical November conditions in New England.

Halloween Haunted House 2011

This year the Haunted House we create for Pack 38 Cub scouts had a great turnout, with many diverse costumes (though some were more… interesting than others). The cub scouts enjoyed it (I think) and so did we.
The house was set up in the kitchen of Deer Hill School and the decorations were very spooky and the strobe light added to the effect. Happy Halloween!

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.
