Troop 73 Experiences Antietam Battlefield
A group of Scouts and adult leaders spent a weekend retracing the steps of one of the most dramatic days in American history, the Battle of Antietam. Antietam is sometimes cited as the bloodiest day in all of American history. The scouts learned the history of the battle. But by being where it happened they were able to appreciate what the distances and terrain were like.
Arrow of Light Day
The Boy Scouts of Troop 73 hosted a morning of Arrow of Light achievement at Watchung Reservation on Sat., Dec 5, 2020 for several AOL scouts from all local packs. The group spent a few hours working with skilled Boy Scouts on lashing and knots, fire building and setting up a lean-to shelter.
Several Scouts also provided a delicious lunch of Afghani chicken and rice which they prepared on camp stoves.
Troop 73 is one of the most active and enthusiastic troops around. AOLs hopefully were excited about the idea of joining Scouts BSA next year while checkig off some achievements too.
