HOOKSETT – Hooksett’s Scouts BSA Troop 292 is ready for spring, with a busy schedule of adventures planned. Starting in March, they have a fun trip to Camp Wanocksett in Jaffrey with their new crossovers from Cub Scout Pack 292, teaching the new Scouts the basics and working toward their first Scout rank.
In April they’re heading to Cape Cod for a 50-mile bike trip on the Cape Cod Rail Trail while enjoying camping at a Scout camp on the Cape.
May will find them camping at a Connecticut state park while they explore the New England Air and Sub Force museums.
In June they plan a relaxing weekend at Pawtuckaway State Park for kayaking, fishing, swimming and fun evenings around the campfire.
For July they’re planning a week-long trip to Maine’s Acadia National Park, exploring the island and enjoying many activities.
August will be the traditional week at Hidden Valley Scout Camp.
In addition to all the outdoor fun, the Scouts also learn about giving back to the community through service projects. Some projects planned for the spring are a roadside cleanup for Earth Day, helping Kids Kloset prepare for the spring and summer season, replacing flags on veterans’ graves for Memorial Day, helping the Garden Club with their annual cleanup and plant sale, and helping the Hooksett Police at National Night Out.
Troop 292, Hooksett’s original award-winning Scout troop, is open to all boys between 11 and 17 years old. Now is a great time to check out the troop and get in on the fun, adventure and learning opportunities!
The troop meets on Thursday evenings at Cawley School’s cafeteria. Interested families are welcome to stop by any meeting and check out the troop.
