OCTOBER THEME:  CAMPING/COOKING/HIKING

We begin our section on Navigation in preparation of the November campout at Waterfall Glen including the 5-mile hike and orienteering course.

Help Needed on Saturday:  For all those that are Not going on the Warren Dunes Campout, the Riverside Juniors are holding a fundraiser at the Scout Cabin on Saturday from 3-7pm and would like some help running their campfire and s’mores station.  The Riverside Juniors are a big proponent of Scouting and have sponsored many of our Troop 24 Eagle Scout Projects.  This is a great opportunity for Troop 24 to both return the favor and help an organization that will likely help you on your Eagle Project.  Contact Lindsay Truesdale lindsayandalantruesdale@gmail.com or Kim Cimino at ciminokl@comcast.net
