Troop 62 Goes Ice Skating

What a BLAST!! 17 scouts had a fun filled evening of ice skating at the Hagerstown Ice & Sports Complex on Saturday, March 12, 2011. Scouts had the opportunity to work on the Ice Skating Merit Badge during their time at the rink. Scouts enjoyed pizza and soda while there. A few bumps and bruises but thankfully no major injures during the event. Each scout will receive a Scout Skate patch at the next Court of Honor for their participation in the evening. Many THANKS to all the leaders and parents who helped to chaperone the event. Enjoy the photos below of our scouts.
