Seekonk Scouts’ May Activities

Seekonk scouts started the month with a weekend camping trip to Buck Hill in Pascoag, RI. During the weekend trip, scouts worked on rank requirements such as meal planning, cooking, campsite selection, pitching tents, and building a cooking fire. The scouts found time to relax by fishing and playing games.

Throughout the month, scouts held a car wash to raise funds for summer camp and high-adventure trips. Additionally, the scouts finalized rank and merit badge requirements for rank advancement and will receive their earned rank and merit badges at the Troop’s June Court of Honor.

The scouts ended the month by honoring and replacing the American flags at the graves of Veterans at the town’s cemeteries and participating in the annual Seekonk Memorial Day Parade. The Troops would also like to thank Rainey Construction for supporting our scouts and driving our float.

Special congratulations to two adult scout leaders honored by the Narragansett Council this month. Michelle Danzer-Gries was presented with the Southeast District “Scouter of the Year” award for her dedicated service to multiple Scout Troops throughout the Southeast District, and Brian Rainey was awarded the “Golden Spark Plug” award for his dedication and support and for always going above and beyond to spark Scouting in Seekonk.
