We had our spring 2021 court of honor outdoors on Wednesday, May 26. We had 50 rank advancements and 197 merit badges were awarded to scouts. Donovan was master of ceremonies and many family members were able to attend since our covid restrictions were up to 100 people gathering. Pizza was served during the court of Honor for all the Scouts, Scouters and guests. Our last Court of Honor was August 7th.

Our April campout was at Chickahominy Riverfront Park in James City County. Our fun activity on Saturday was Go Ape ziplining. We had scouts and chaperones climbing, crossing obstacles, and ziplining back to the ground. We also had a dessert contest in the evening with a campfire, and older scouts helped younger scouts earn their Totin’ and Firem’ chits. We had time for relaxing and playing games. We had great attendance with almost all the scouts in Troops 242B and 242G.
Hello families of Troop 242,

The first campout of 2021 was the annual crossover campout at Newport News Park in March. We had Cub Scouts from Pack 242 join the troop to become BSA Scouts. We camped at the primitive site, and spent our time doing different team building exercises. The majority of the whole troop participated and enjoyed being able to camp again.
Here are some pictures from the camping trip.
