Simsbury Boy Scout Troop 175 To hold Open House At Onion Mountain

Simsbury Boy Scout Troop 175 is known for its adventure trips and outdoor camping skills. On the Weekend of November 13-14 the troop will hold an open house at Onion Mountain on West Mountain Road in West Simsbury for all area Webelos and any other boy between the ages of 11 and 17 interested in learning more about scouting.

The weekend will begin at noon and the current scouts will have prepared a zip line, ropes course, and a typical campsite with survival shelter for the event. Visitors will be able to participate in an Iron Chef cooking competition, a fire building with flint and steel contest, night time capture the flag game (bring a flashlight) and end the night sitting around a campfire telling jokes, watching skits and singing songs.

Parents are invited to enjoy a campfire and learn more about the scouting program at Troop 175 while their sons are embedded with boy scout patrols for the afternoon.
