Attached is a copy of the most recent Troop 175 Calendar of Events. It lists all troop meetings and trips from September 2009 through June 2010.
Here is a summery of this year's trips:
© September - Bike trip to Block Island. We will camp near the beach and enjoy this Rhode Island island.
© October - Bicycle trip to Cape Cod, clamming and cookout on the beach.
© November - annual Weblos Challenge on our “home” turf, Onion Mountain. This is a great event where Cubs are invited for a full day of Scout activities; and to work with our Scout patrols on making rope bridges, furniture, campfires, orienteering and zip lines. In the evening the patrols will cook a meal with the Cubs and then will have a Troop campfire with songs and skits put on by the Scouts. Cubs are invited to spend the night camping (with a parent)
© December - We will be rock climbing on an indoor rock climbing wall. We also will have a reunion trip of older Scouts from college and our Leaders Group, which will do some backcountry skiing and camping.
© January - Operation Deep Freeze will be at the Burke Homestead in Vermont where scouts will build survival shelters and learn cold weather camping.
© February - Our Annual ski and snowboard trip to Vermont
© March - Another trip for some cold weather camping at Roaring Brook.
© April - Once again we will go to Tuckerman’s Ravine, this is one of our most popular trips and we had 65 scouts and parents join us last year.
© May - We head to the Connecticut shore and go deep see fishing.
© June
- We will sponsor the 4th Annual Boy Scout Adventure Race. This race
was developed by Troop 175 and involves biking, running, canoeing,
rappelling, orienteering and climbing in Simsbury in a 16 mile - 4-hour
race.
In June we are also planning a four-day canoe trip on the Saco River in Maine.
