The Venture Patrol is selling Christmas Wreaths and other holiday greenery to raise money for their 2009 Northern Tier High Adventure.

This outing consists of bike rides of various lengths (see permission schedule) on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Park (C&O) towpath, overnight camping at the canal or battlefield campsites at Antietam, Maryland, and Scout Activities. Some Scouts may choose activities (camping only) which do not include biking. The troop will operate two trailers to transport bikes to the departure points.

Neil Bonner will demonstrate how easy it is to update the new Troop website.

This summer, the Venture Crew participated in the Camp Rodney Outdoor Challenge.

I am very pleased to announce another new Eagle in Troop 1970: Andrew L. Please join me in congratulating Andrew. We had a fun time a Camp Rodney this summer. The first year scouts knocked off many requirements, and most of them advanced in rank. The others will be ready to advance in September when we start meeting again. The other scouts earned a large pile of merit badges. Please join us on October 6th at the Court of Honor to celebrate their success.
