Group Photos
January, 2013

It was time for some new group photos of the membership of Boy Scout Troop 68. Unfortunately, we could not get everyone to show up at one meeting so we took pictures during two troop meetings. And we still did not get eveyone.

January Outing
January 26, 2013

The January outing needed to be revised from the yealry program schedule so the Scouts planned a one day competition in which they played each other in table tennis, darts, chess, amd Wii golf. The guys had a good time and even had a chance to play with a few puppets.

March Court of Honor
March 25, 2013

Boy Scout Troop 68 held its first court of honor of the year at the Melrose City Hall meeting rooms. There were a decent number of awards to present for a March court of honor, which means the Scouts were busy during the previous three months. The troop also officially welcomed two new members.

Thomas Schwinghammer had his Eagle board of review in St. Cloud. Jim, his scoutmaster, along with Steve, a committee member, and his parents attended the review.

Camp Watchamagumee
May 17-19, 2013

Six Boy Scouts of Troop 68, including four new Scouts, spend a wet weekend at Camp Watchamagumee. Luckily for them, most of Saturday turned out to be a decent and dry day, but both evenings saw plenty of rain. During the day the Scouts played disc golf and competed in two competitions: the annual egg drop contest and a firebuilding race in which the boys used flint and steel to start their fires. While sitting around the campfire Saturday night the new Scouts heard the story of the Purple Gorilla and learned how to stay safe from wolfen attacks. Some of the boys slept in their primitive shelters Saturday night.
