The weather cooperated the night of February 11 to allow Rye’s Troop 2 to recognize rank advancement of 15 Scouts and the completion of many merit badge requirements at the Winter Court of Honor. The highlight of the evening was acknowledgement of Harrison Steins’ achievement of the rank of Eagle. A dedicated Eagle Court of Honor will be conducted for him this spring, but last month’s Court gave all Troop 2 scouts the chance to gain an appreciation of the effort needed to attain Scouting’s highest rank.

Anatoly Howard, Scout

Looking ahead, the troop received an update on plans for upcoming high adventure camp trips. This summer, 12 boys and four parents will trek to the Scout’s Northern Tier reserve in the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota for a full week of canoeing, camping, and fishing. At the start of July, scouts will have the opportunity to attend two weeks of camp at the Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation in the Adirondacks.
