Troop 64 – Helping Local Schools

Troop 64 Scouts have been making masks to donate to our local schools for when they go back to “in-person” learning. Additionally, the Scouts been helping their charter organization, St. Thomas Aquinas church, by making signs for the AZ Masks for Medical Workers drop off and pick up and helping move donated furniture to the church.

The troop is also adapting to health guidelines and keeping activities going. In September, the Scouts have been working on the fishing program. After learning about the hazards, prevention and treatment of health emergencies that may occur while fishing and learning how to tie the knows needed to properly fish, they tested their knowledge by taking a fishing trip. The Scouts went to Tierra Verde Lake Park and some were successful at catching a fish.

They also performed a parking lot Court of Honor, where they had 1 Scout rank up and handed out 17 merit badges. Considering our summer camp was cancelled, we were incredibly proud of their accomplishments!
