Thanks, again, to the super staff at Ockanickon Scout Reservation for a wonderful (albeit HOT) week. As always the programs, food and staff were top-notch.

&lqot;WHO'S YOUR DADDY?&nquot; and &nqot;Dance for me!&nqot; were two shouts heard at the lake, as the boys enjoayed a Relaxation Camping weekend at Ocknickon. In the afrernoon the new scouts were all given chances to earn their Tote N Chip and Fire Chit cards.Click Here to view these pics taken by Mr. Wilson.

The 2011 Swim-O-Ree Results have been tabulated. Congrats to our boys for yet another 1st place win!! Thanks to Packs: 102, 110. 123, 132 & 168, and Troops: 53, 102, 117, 123, 168, 219 and Crew 168 for joining us. Hope you all had fun.

The Klondike Derby, for 2011, was held on January 14, 15 and 16th at OSR. Mother Nature had seen fit to dump several inches of snow on the ground just before the event. The results have not been compiled yet, but our two sled teams were pretty confident in their performance. A new feature, this year, was the building of the sleds used, and both patrols did admirably with this.Click Here to view pics provided by Mr. Blewitt.

2009 Activities

November 14th & 15th: The Appalachian Trail was once again beset upon by Troop 130. Most of Saturday, Mother Nature was good to them, but by Saturday evening, our groups was finding out just who had good tents, and who would need to be replacing them. Despite sleeping in puddles, and some slippery slopes, everyone made if off the mountain and safely back home. Check out more pics
Tom and Fred on the A.T.

Nov. 7th: The troop got together with our charter organization, to do the fall clean up of the grounds. Check out more pics

Four of our yougest scouts are all smiles as they wait to receive their rank advancements and merit badges at the Fall Court of Honor, held September 21st.

ASPL Tom B. reads from the guide book as we take the tour through historic Gerrysburg. More pictures.

We have survived, yet another canoe trip. Well... most of us, anyhow. While we brought everyone home, we all came home a little lighter, losing articles to the low branches along the Batsto River. The course was a certain challenge and the weather managed to hold off, though it was storming to the east and west of us. All in all, we had an excellent time. You can check out some pictures, courtesy Mr. Blewitt. (the pictures are in a .pdf file, so Just click on the picture to go to the next one, or fight-click to go back one.).

The 2009 summer campers. PICTURES are FINALLY posted!

For one of our family:

The participants of the 2009 Spring Camporee, held at Washington's Crossing State Park, stand in front of the T-130 Swift Boat.
One of the events was the Cardboard Canoe Rigatta. The canoe was made of a very rigid cardboard, and PLENTY of duct tape. The canoe, manned by Aaron and Dennis, was the first to cross the lagoon, and come back. Then Mike and Fred took over for the "Last Man Standing" part of the competition. Their undoing was a slight imbalance, causing them to flip on their own.
It was a fantastic job by the boys both on the canoe (building it) and in the canoe. More pictures to come.

Klondike Derby - 2009
The troop has survived yet another one, and I do mean survived. Those in attendance can be extremely proud of yourselves. The weather was COLD, and most everyone hung in there.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Phantom Patrol for taking 2nd place in the skills competition, and to the Do-do Patrol for taking 1at place in the sled race. Excellent job, boys.

REMINDER: Acme and Shop-Rite receipts are an excellent fund raiser for the troop. Please remember to save your receipts and turn them in to Mr. Eyre.

      Troop 130 would like to join National Council and our fellow troops in showing our support of America's military in their fight for peace in the Middle East.

      We encourage all citizens to show their support of America by joining us in tying red, white, and blue ribbons on trees in neighborhoods across the country. If you know someone in the armed services, you may honor him or her by writing their name on the ribbons.

      The link above will take you to National Council's promotion and official press releaase of their support.
