Troop 55 Riverside News

Troop 55 Riverside is excited to have resumed in-person weekly meetings. The troops are meeting Monday evenings at Haines Park. Masks, hand sanitizer, and social distancing are part of how scouts are living up their motto “Be Prepared”.

The troops are excited to participate in their first campout since February. Scouts and leaders will be camping overnight at Hunts Mills. It will be a little different during these unprece times but the Troops will still be working on advancement and scout skills and enjoying a Saturday night campfire.

All the scouts and adult leaders of Troop55 would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who came by our car wash on 8/23 to support “Friends of Troop55”. Scouts worked hard and the cars never stopped coming through. The kids were excited to get to wash a few police cruisers. Everyone was generous with their donations and the troop crushed their previous record for this fundraiser. This will go to help fund many scout activities throughout the year.

Your son or daughter can join in the fun, too. For more information go to Troop55riverside.org or come check us out at one of our weekly Monday night meetings held at the Mason Lodge (located @18 Turner Avenue, riverside) @6:30 PM. We hope to meet you soon! ***(While we are holding weekly meetings outdoors right now due to Covid 19 please reach out to us on Facebook or email one of our Scoutmasters for more Information about joining rduckworth@troop55riverside.org, ccunha@troop55riverside.org  )**
