Troop 684 - Zurich, Switzerland
In the last 2 weeks 2 scouts have participated in an ordeal to enter to scouts honor society (or the order of the arrow). Both scouts had to do service projects while not speaking and eating very little. In the end both scouts completed the ordeal and are now members of the order.
Our latest camping trip started with a hike on a Saturday morning after eating a breakfast cooked by the scouts to feed their patrol. We cooked lunch after and did some rank advancements. This was beneficial for the younger scouts. After that we had some free time. The scouts made their dinner and practiced songs for the campfire that was happening later. We finished the trip with a game of Mafia.
We had a great court of honor at the end of May 2018. 31 Merit badges were awarded and 13 rank advancements. We also had an Eagle court of honor where we celebrated Tommy and John’s advancement to Eagle scout, the highest rank in scouting. We also bid farewell to our great advancement co-ordinator Mrs. Schupp.
Eagles Around Us
On May 26th Aidan completed his Eagle project and this past weekend, George also earned his Eagle project. These scouts are soon to earn their Eagles and will join Tommy, John and Shareef. There have been an unprecedented amount of Eagle scouts this year.

We arrived on Friday night.
We set up our tents then we talked and went to sleep.
On Saturday morning
we ate breakfast burritos, split into groups and repainted signs for service hours.
We ate our packed lunch that we made before we went and then went to go and have free time. For dinner, we ate pasta, then we had more free time and afterward, in the evening we had a campfire where we showed skits and ate smores.
On Sunday we had breakfast then packed up our tents and went off to do minigames. After all of it, we made lunch and went home.
