Press Release from Eric Bergman

The scouts from Troop 18 in Killingworth had a busy summer in 2024.

In June, the scouts traveled to Charlemont, Massachusetts for a raft and zip adventure at Zoar Outdoor Adventure Resort. The scouts got to go white-water rafting in Class 2 and 3 rapids on the Deerfield River. The following day, after camping out at the Zoar campground, the scouts zipped down a mountain on the Zoar zip line course.

In July, the troop spent a week at Camp Sequassen in New Hartford. The scouts took courses in life-saving, woodworking, personal fitness, animation, nuclear science, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and more. The scouts also competed against other troops from across the state in many camp-wide competitions.

Parents of any child who is aged 11 or older and interested in joining the troop are encouraged to reach out to the troop leader, Eric Bergman, at edubs10@yahoo.com.
