Cape Cod Bike Trip a big sucess

Posted on Sep 17 2013 - 7:50pm

It was a wonderful weekend for biking on the Cape.  The weather was perfect and the scouts biked from Nickerson State Park in Brewster to Lecount Hollow Beach in Wellfleet and back.  They traveled over 25 miles.  The evening was spent cooking some great meals and hanging out with their fellow scouts.  Four intrepid scouts even opted to sleep outside under the stars forgoing their tents.  The Troop's new trailer made its camp-out debut and was perfect for transporting all the troop equipment.

New Troop Equipment Trailer

Posted on Aug 27 2013 - 9:51pm

  Two weeks ago the troop took delivery of its new equipment trailer!  Having a trailer to use to transport equipment to and from camp outs should significantly simplify the logistics of "Being Prepared"!  Look for it at this week's troop meeting - it will be parked outside for everyone to take a look at.
