New Photos WHITEWATER RAFTING - New River West Virginia May 2006

Troop 11 Class B red shirts - Are available for a special sale price of $15 each, 2/$25, or 3/$35 (3 are required for Summer Camp).  We also have youth small shirts available for younger siblings due to vendor's error.

White Water Rafting Trip was a great success. Join us by reviewing our photo albums of the adventure. Our troop was divided into three rafts for the trips each one having a guide from Ultimate Rafting Adventures in West Virginia - Zach, Chris, and Randy.

World Scout Jamboree - The Greenwich Council has only ten (10) spaces available for the World Jamboree.  Scouts must be 1st Class and between 14 and 17 years old on July 27, 2007 to attend.  This is a great opportunity for our Scouts to be a part of this huge event.  Please see attached document for more information.  If you qualify and wish to go, go to www.Scouting.org/international for more information and to download the Jamboree application to turn into our Scout Office at 63 Mason Street.  You should apply before the end of this month, because next month all unreserved positions revert to the National pool and you might not be able to get a place.  The cost is a little over $4,000 complete.
