Troop 24 is SO excited to welcome our new cross-over Scouts to the Troop during our annual Cantigny Campout! Friday night camping is reserved for second year and above Scouts, while Saturday night camping is reserved for our newest scouts who have just crossed over.

Our newest Scouts will leave RPC Saturday (3/16) at 8:30am and return to RPC Sunday (3/17) at 10:30am. This is an opportunity for our newest Scouts to…

• Spend their first night camping with the troop close to home.
• Learn the ropes and bond with other newly crossed-over Scouts.
• Meet and be mentored by our older Scout instructors, guides and patrol leaders.
• Work on skills and requirements needed for their first rank advancement.
