Washburn Scout keeping busy
To the editor:
I’m e-mailing you this letter for a requirement to get my Scouting communications merit badge and I have had to do a lot more requirements like making a collage that represents myself, write a five-minute speech, interview somebody which is my father, Tim Roix, prepare a skit for a campfire program so you see that our Troop 177 Washburn is very busy.
Now I’m going to tell you about some activities we do during the summer.
First we are going to Washington, D.C. for a National Jamboree that’s for the 100th year of Boy Scouts. The Jamboree is two weeks long and we have to spend two weeks in a tent sleeping on cots.
Here in our troop we have a Scoutmaster who has been in that position for more than 30 years and his name is Larry Harrison. Our senior patrol is going to college so we are getting close to electing a new one.
My patrol is the Eagle Patrol along with the bear patrol. The people in my patrol are Tyler Skinner, Daniel Roy, Parker Thompson and me.
At a meeting we usually do some requirements for something and the last half hour sometimes we have something called patrol time, it’s when we just do things with our patrol.
The place where we do all of this stuff is at a little building that we call the scout camp and we named it after our Scoutmaster and it’s called Camp Harrison.
That’s how our troop works!
Washburn
