FSK’s June Day Camp was a huge success. Our camp hosted over 100 campers during the final week of June at the Thurmont Conservation Sports Club. The camp held a variety of activities stations including swimming, archery, shooting, fishing, STEAM, nature, and sports.
This camp and our second day camp in July could never have been possible if it weren’t for the hard work and dedication of our camp directors, Lauren Dutrow (program) and Dory LeCroy (administration). They have already passed down a wealth of knowledge and we are very lucky to have such dedicated, passionate volunteers in FSK.
Their hard work definitely paid-off. Not only did our Cub Scouts have a great time, we also received a perfect score on our official camp inspection!
We are pleased to announce that Camp Howard M. Wall has achieved full accreditation for 2018. The purpose of the Boy Scouts of America’s National Camp Accreditation Program (NCAP) is to help councils elevate camps to new levels of excellence in delivering Scouting’s promise to youth. Councils will engage in a rigorous review of camps and properties, continuous improvement, and correction or elimination of substandard practices.Only camps that successfully complete all five aspects of the NCAP are BSA accredited camps.
Crew 713, sponsored by the Damascus Volunteer Fire Department, was chartered in January 2018 and is set to make a difference for the lives of others and Scouts! This Crew is focused on learning the skills of Emergency Medical Technicians and hopes to soon staff all sorts of events within Seneca District as First-Aiders. Led by Advisor Tricia Taylor and Committee Chair Jonathan Bjorson, both EMTs with DVFD, this crew has already had CPR training and is working on First Aid skills, providing a unique opportunity to explore careers in Fire/EMS in the Upper Montgomery County area. The Crew invites you to come out to their next event: a visit to the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, MD followed by a hike on July 15, 2018. Contact
