"When it rains, we camp."     

• Oct. 12 - 14, 2007 -- Troop Camping at Cathedral Pines
  Great weather marked our season opening troop camping trip.  We had over 30 boys enjoy camping, biking, cooking and campfires.  Lots of rank advancement work was completed and the patrols began the season working together and building great teamwork.

• Sat., Oct. 20th, 2007 - JOTA
  We participated in this years' "Jamboree On The Air" from the Marconi shack in front of the FJC School and were able to talk to many other scouts from around the world. 

• Tues., Oct. 30th, 2007 - Court of Honor
  We had a great Court of Honor with lots of scouts being presented with awards, merit badges and rank advancements earned over the summer.

• Nov. 2 - 4, 2007 -- Troop 244 "Webelos Woods" at Baiting Hollow Scout Camp
  Despite the rain and strong winds from the remnants of Hurricane Noel, our first "Troop 244 Webelos Woods Weekend" was really a great success!  Pack 244 Webelos decided not to come out but Pack 6249 came with about 16 scouts.  In true Troop 244 spirit, we didn't let the wind and rain slow us down.  We were able to move our activities indoors at the dining hall.
  
  Our senior scouts did a fantastic job running six stations covering Fire Building, Map & Compass, Cooking, Knife Safety, First Aid, and Knots & Lashings.  Training materials were provided to the senior scouts for each station and I heard from several of our instructors that they were amazed how they felt they really mastered the material after having to teach it to the young scouts.  It was great for our older scouts to reinforce the skills they 'kinda' already knew and for the younger scouts and Webelos who truly benefited from the knowledge and experience of our older boys.
