Goshen Family Camp & Merit Badge Make-ups

August 14, 2022 by Goshen Scout Reservation

New for one time only, Goshen Scout Reservation will be offering merit badge make-ups alongside favorite Labor Day Family Camp activities, like boating, swimming, hiking, archery, and the Giant Swing.

Bring your partial merit badge records and finish up your merit badges from the summer with the Goshen camp staff. We will have counselors from a selection of merit badges. The list of available badges is included on the Family Camp program schedule. Other badges not on the list may be requested based on the availability of counselors. Scouts wanting to make up badges should request them as part of their registration.

Merit badge make-ups is for finishing partial badges only. Scouts will not be able to start new merit badges during this event.

Goshen’s Labor Day Family Camp, September 2-5, is open to all scouting families and has activities for all ages. The program format is open program. During the hours of program, you and your family can show up to any of the program areas and take part in the unstructured activities – whether that be boating around the lake or testing your skill in archery. There are also opportunities to go on hikes to two of Goshen’s most popular spots – the Swimming Hole at the river and Viewing Rock with a magnificent view of the lake.

All camping and activities for the weekend will take place at Camp Olmsted. Learn more and register at www.gotogoshen.org/family-camp

Troop 1920’s three new Eagles, and its’ Significant Number

August 9, 2022 by Cassidy P

On February 1, 2019, girls were officially allowed to join the Boy Scouts of America’s Scouts BSA program.

Since then, there have been 3 female eagle scouts in the Seneca District and all 3 of them have come from our troop!

For our troop, we chose troop number 1920 because it was the year women got the right to vote in the US, and as a brand new girl’s troop, we thought it was only fitting.

These 3 scouts, Bethany Hurt, Elora West, and Samantha Vidas have just been awarded their Eagle awards and we couldn’t be more proud!

They have done so much for our troop and the people around them from teaching another scout the square knot, to being senior patrol leaders. We are so proud of everything they’ve done and we hope they continue to help people in their daily lives as adults.

A Scout is…Creative!

August 6, 2022 by Dave Schneeman

Scout creativity was on full display in Michael’s Woodshop during Camp William B. Snyder’s second annual Scout Specialty Week. Among the wide variety of merit badge offerings, Michael’s Woodshop offered the Woodwork Merit Badge, a challenging merit badge requiring extended sessions throughout the week. Scouts learned about lumber, shop safety, first aid and tool sharpening. To demonstrate the use of different tools, cuts and joints, Scouts created three projects including a toolbox, a wooden mallet and a cell phone stand. The real fun began when they designed and built their own projects. The results were amazing!

The classes during the merit badge week were led by a group of highly skilled woodshop volunteers. It was a very successful week with 15 Woodwork Merit Badges earned! To see more of the fun activities during the week, go to the Woodshop Activity Slideshows section of our webpage where you can view our latest addition Scout Specialty Week 2022.

Michael’s Woodshop operates year-round and is a great venue for Scouts of all ages to create and learn. We are able to offer Woodwork Merit Badge classes and many other programs through the time, talent and hard work of our dedicated volunteers.

If you enjoy being in a wood shop and like to teach and guide youth, please consider joining the Michael’s Woodshop Team. There are roles available for both adult and youth volunteers; from novices to experienced woodworkers. It is a truly rewarding role.

Please visit the Michael’s Woodshop webpage for more information about volunteering, upcoming events or for information about reserving the shop. If you have questions or would like additional information, please email the volunteer team at MichaelsWoodshop.CWBS@gmail.com
