Troop 275 participated in Webelos Woods at Camp Conley Clarke. The event is for to Arrow of Light Scouts and their families understand the workings of a Boy Scouts Troop and how they will fit within the structure of their Troop using the Patrol Method. Several of our Scouts participated to instruct the AOL scouts and helped them build a station for the Webelos to tie knots. He and the boys did an incredible job with a hands-on activity for the cub scouts!

Our troop camped out on an Aircraft Carrier learning all about it’s past and current history! The weekend was a joint trip with 275G to the USS Yorktown over at Patriot’s Point to celebrate Veteran’s Day and connect with our history and the testimonies of the various veterans who were extremely overjoyed at the curiosity of our Scouts as they walked us through the multiple corridors of this historic vessel. Thank you to the men and women who fought for our country and thank you to the Patriot’s Point staff for being so accommodating.

We had our annual Brunswick Stew campout and fundraiser to raise money for needed equipment. We stayed up all night to take shifts to stir big cauldrons full of stew! We then sold all of our stew and donated baked goods the next morning.

Our OA members went to their Fall Fellowship.
The Vigil Honor, the Order of the Arrow’s highest recognition, was awarded to Joseph Cohen something our Troop hasn’t seen since May 1990
The Order of the Arrow (OA) is composed of Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law (and this is the important part) as elected by their peers. There are 3 ranks in the OA: Ordeal, Brotherhood, and Vigil. The last rank is the hardest to obtain primarily because it requires a great deal of investment towards service and towards fulfilling a position in the lodge. To earn this honor a candidate must receive at least one more than half of the committee’s votes. Furthermore, the lodge is allowed to select one Vigil Honor member for every 50 members of the lodge.

Part community service, part fun, our Troop went to Lakewood Camping Resort, Myrtle Beach to particpate in the District-wide, beach-cleanup service project! We walked the beach picking up trash.

The Troop went to check out Camp Daniel Boone as a possible place to go to Summer Camp in the future. We had some ideal cool temperatures at night with some scenic views in the day. We also had the entire camp, which normally entertains 850 Scouts during the summer camp weeks, all to ourselves. This gave us the opportunity to camp on their best site and the boys got to enjoy themselves quite a bit.
Three Scouts got to work on their cooking skills, several others on their rank advancements, and did a hike of a little over 5 miles.
