The Boy Scouts are getting a new look – a new toned-down Class A uniform made of forest green and khaki high-performance fabrics, similar to what they’d pick out at REI or Dick’s Sporting Goods. (And guys, the new baseball cap – green all the way around with a single Scout emblem, a fleur-de-lis, monochromatically embroidered – you’ll want to wear everywhere).

New Patrol: The Raiders! Troop 60 would like to welcome our newest patrol “The Raiders” into the troop. So far, the new patrol is comprised of 3 official Boy Scouts and one Webelos Scout (who will be a Boy Scout in one month). The boys are from Monroe Central and recently crossed over.

Troop 60 raised over $500 through our “Dutch Mill Bulbs” fundraiser recently. The money earned will go towards summer camp and other camp fees throughout the summer. Great job on this fast fundraiser!

FYI - The bulbs will be in mid-May for distribution.
