Good Evening Troop 332!

WE ARE EXCITED TO RETURN TO OUTDOOR CAMPING!  Please read this message carefully as there’s a lot to digest. 

We are planning a 1 night trip out at Camp Birch out in Yellow Springs.  We will meet at the church Saturday morning at 9:00am and return back to the church Sunday afternoon around 1:00pm.

The activity for the event will be a service project, camping orientation, and some hiking at John Bryan State Park.
