Troop 54 has restarted meetings this Fall in 2020. We have mainly had our meetings outside, but now with the colder weather we looking to move those meetings inside. We have been able to adhere to NJ COVID regulations during our meetings, and we have even been able to get some camping trips in.
In October we went to Resica Falls Scout Reservation in East Stroudsburg PA and stayed in a sub-camp called the Firestone Explorer Camp. We went on a 6 mile hike that included crossing a the Bush Kill River. Our trail map showed the river crossing and I incorrectly assumed there would be a bridge of some sort. But the Scouts said finding a good crossing and having to wade across the river was one of the highlights of the trip.
We're not sure if we will have the chance to have any more camping trips over the winter as we usually spend some time in cabins, and because of COVID those cabins are not available.
We are looking forward to our Klondike Derby, which will be a one day even this year in January.
