Summer Camp
One of the best experiences in scouting is attending summer camp at a BSA resident scout camp. Summer camp is more than just a place to have fun. It also offers Scouts the opportunity to participate in physically and intellectually challenging activities, introduces them to new and rewarding experiences, and provides them with supportive and caring relationships. For 2023, Troop 270 will be going to June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation in Ashford, CT. We will attend from July 2 to 7. For more information, click on the flyer to the left. You can also visit the Webster Scout Reservation site. For images from last year's camp, please click here. For our new Scout parent video, click here.
