News from Troop 55 Girl and Boy Scouts

The scouts of Troop 55’s Girl and Boy troops were honored to be, yet again, asked to participate in Bristol’s Fourth of July parade which was back in full force this year. The scouts were asked to join other scouts from around the council to carry the Patriotic Flag. It is a large Flag that has appeared at many parades and events around the country and honors those lost on 9/11. One scout also got into the Narragansett Council’s BSA mascot “Archie the Eagle” and spread lots of scout spirit to the thousands of parade goers! A good time was had by all!

Camp Yawgoog began this week and we will share more about our return to summer camp next month.

Your son or daughter can join in the fun of monthly camping, community service, and learning skills that will last them a lifetime. For more information, go to www.troop55riverside.org  or come check us out at one of our weekly meetings held at St. Andrew’s Lodge (located @ 18 Turner Avenue, Riverside) Monday nights @ 6:30 PM. We hope to meet you soon
