Scout Sunday 2024
A Scout is Reverent. On March 17, we observed Scout Sunday with the parishioners of St. Basil the Great Catholic Church. Members of Troop 652B, 652G and Cub Scout Pack 652 were in attendance and participated in the celebratory mass.
Honing our Scout Skills
At the March campout, it was a little cloudy, a little rainy, a little snowy, and a lot of bacon. We worked on fire building skills, axe yard safety, and cooking. Scout skills are improving and the leaders look forward to sampling the latest meal creations, like the pictured breakfast burrito. Our bacon game is strong!!
February Polar Bear
Every campout has a playlist, even when it's cold! In February, our monthly campout was crisp, clear, dry and enjoyable for everyone. Scouts earned their Polar Bear Award by camping in tents and staying outside in below-freezing temps for more than 24 hours. Everyone enjoyed tunes by the fire keeping themsleves warm and entertained during the weekend outing.
Klondike Provides Cold Weather, Snow, and Outdoor Fun!
Our troops participated in Lake Erie Council's National Parks Klondike in January. With some crazy winter weather and a big storm impacting the area, an intrepid group of scouts and leaders headed into the Great Outdoors for a Scouting competition and winter activities at Beaumont Scout Reservation. The annual Klondike is a fun competition where scouts visit stations and compete to earn points. The event concludes with an auction for items and gear that can be used by the troop. Our boys' troop was thrilled to win a new heavy-duty wagon and other useful camping gear at this year's event.
BH Councilman Visits Troop 652
Special thanks to Broadview Heights Ward 2 Councilman Brian Wolf for visiting our January 3 troop meeting! Mr. Wolf spoke with our scouts about being a public official and having a positive effect on the community. His visit helped fulfill rank and merit badge requirements for troop members in 652B and 652G.
Congratulations, Skye!
Congratulations, Skye R., on passing your Eagle Board of Review and achieving the rank of Eagle Scout!
Showing, Teaching Arrows About Troop Life
In early November, we welcomed Arrow of Light dens at a campout to help them fulfill advancement requirements. Our scouts demonstrated leadership and all points of the Scout Law while showing the Arrows what it means to be a Troop 652 scout.
