Parade & Camping with a Halloween Theme

In spite of the drizzle Troop 150 led the Annual Annandale Parade on Saturday, October 24th. Then it was off to Camp Snyder for the fun, competition and learning for the Old Dominion District’s Fall Camporee at Camp Snyder,  Haymarket, VA.   Troop 150 won the price for the best decorated campsite.

C&O Canal Hike

It was a great hike today.  We met at the Great Falls Tavern on the Maryland side of the river and saw the spectacular falls.  We picked up several Webelos and Parents from Vienna along the way who's Scout troop didn't show up, and they hiked with us. At the half way point two scouts showed how to lay a fire and let a visiting Webelos light the fire.  We dined on roasted hot dogs

and, then returned and visited the museum before returning home. 


Thanks to Gabe Nasser for organizing this one...a great time.

 

New Venture Patrol formed for scouts who have obtained the rank of Star and age 15. The group will be taking on events and trips good for only older and more experience scouts.  For more information contact Assistant Scoutmaster Jay Jarvis at AS2@Troop150.biz

Naval Observatory Tour

Scouts and parents toured the Naval Observatory on January 19th. Mr. Bob Freeman was our host, showing how the building was constructed, about famous books in the library (one book by  Copernicus and one by Galileo), about how Greenwich time is determined, star mapping, rubidium fountain clocks, observatory history. Everyone had an opportunity to observe the moon through a

large telescope.

Thanks to parent Robin Tyner for

organizing this very informative and fun trip.
