1958 - 2025:  Celebrating 67 Years

Boy scouts and leaders from Scouts BSA Troop 270 took advantage of a beautiful fall day to support our charter org, the Newtown Congregational Church. As part of our annual fall cleanup day, the troop worked alongside other volunteers to rake leaves, clean up the Memorial Garden, and polish pews in the main sanctuary. Our partnership with NCC continues to benefit our troop and the church, but also provides our scouts to learn and understand the value of giving back.

This past weekend, our troop organized a FANTASTIC campout at Camp Sequassen! The plan was to spend Saturday morning building rockets, launch them in the afternoon, and to invite the Webelos and AOL scouts from Pack 270 and 470 to join us. Perhaps the only thing that was more impressive than the success of our campout was the weather, as we were treated to a beautiful early Fall weekend with highs in the 70's and low's at night in the upper 50's. The weekend started off Frid
