Summer Camp 2011

This summer, we attended Camp Long Lake July 10-16, 2011.  Nineteen Scouts attended camp completing 34 merit badges with partial credit received for another 3.  Our eight new scouts each earned Totin Chip, Fireman's Chit, and completed 28 requirements toward First Class rank.  Mr. Key was the Scoutmaster for most of the week, and Mr. Fisher was there for the entire week.  Mr. Dornacker, Mr. Kohel, Mr. Pomeroy and Mr. Schumitsch also came for part of the week.   Mr. Ryan was a Camp Commissioner for the week. 

The Camp Entrance
Troop 53 held a Flag Retirement Ceremony at the Friday night campfire program, followed by the call out by the Order of the Arrow.  Nick Buban and Mr. Dornacker were called out.  They may attend either the Fall or Spring Order of the Arrow Conference to conduct the ordeal.  Congratulations to Nick and Mr. Dornacker.

Troop 53 has been a top competitor at Camp Long Lake for several years.  This year was no exception.  The Troop again brought home two ribbons for First Place in the Camp Wide Relay, and First Place in Aquafest.  Congratulations to our Scouts for working hard toward these achievements.
