Hello everybody this is Abel with the latest post on the Troop 242 webpage. This webpage has been around since March 2018 and the last post, Quarantine post #2, marked the 50th post on this website! I would like to thank Travis M., the troop’s very first webmaster, because without him, there would be no website. Today’s post focuses on the landmark posts on the website and also some of our funnest campouts and events. What is your favorite post?

Quarantine Post #2
Hello everybody, this is Abel with the latest scout info. I will be posting on the troop webpage at least once a week (usually more) so be sure to keep an eye out for the latest news and information.
When you think of scouting what first comes to your mind? Is it camping? Friends? The outdoors? What about merit badges? One of the major parts of scouting, merit badges have had an iconic role is boy scouts since the first 57 were released in 1911. Now there are more than 130 that you can earn and there is at least one merit badge for every subject, spanning from First aid and Recycling to Fingerprinting and Cycling.
Now that there is a quarantine, that won’t stop scouts from earning more merit badges. There are many online programs that provide a chance to get another fine addition to your collection. To get more info, you can google it, and if you are subscribed to the troop, members occasionally post opportunities and information for online badges. Because the programs are constantly updating and changing, I cannot post anything here that will be relevant in more than a week, but if you do some searching you will find at least one opportunity to earn a merit badge at home.
Thank you for reading and once again, Be sure to keep an eye out for the latest news and information on the Troop 242 website.
