The Troop has been very active over the past six months to earn these awards. They have whitewater rafted the Arkansas River, climbed to more than 10,000 feet up the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado, explored the Mesa Verde cliff-dwellings, enjoyed the Council Fall Camporee, attended various merit badge clinics, had a father-son campout, sold almost $3,500 in popcorn, and twice rang the bell for the Salvation Army.Jon Skaggs and Cameron Sumwalt finished their Eagle projects.
Next summer, the Troop plans to hike the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Troop 715 meets downstairs each Monday from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Trinity United Methodist, 832 E. Center St.
