Good afternoon troop families.
We are still needing some extra adults to attend Camporee to assist with our event we are running. We have volunteered for Which Way to Go, which is an orienteering event. We will need 5-6 adults at the station to assist the patrols as the come in to explain the event and then judge each patrol. We would like enough to cover switching in and out if possible. We will also be one person short in the afternoon. Mike Samko is assisting the Iron Chef team.
Don’t forget that you can sign up your scout to attend any of the events with open registration with the links below. We have the PayPal like set up for campout fees to be paid at sign up. We still have spaces open for the USS Alabama trip.
It won’t be long until we have Senior Patrol Leader Elections. If you may be interested in running, please see Mr. Martin.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. If our troop interests you, we would appreciate the chance to let you meet our troop.

Michael Hughes – Scoutmaster, Troop 331
Outdoor camping is an integral part of Scouting. Troop 331 camps once per month, and provides the tents, patrol cookware, dining fly, cooking stoves, and lanterns. Each scout provides his own camping gear (see recommended equipment list).
Monthly campout cost is $25 per campout, payable to the Troop Treasurer by the Monday prior to the campout. Sign-up for campouts is two weeks prior to the event.
Troop 331 scouts go to week-long summer camp every year, usually in June. See our calendar for summer camp dates.
