Troop 10’s week-long summer camp experience at Onteora Scout Reservation in Livingston Manor at the end of July, 2023, was enjoyed by 34 scouts and several adult leaders.
With remarkably little rain for the week, the Scouts participated in a multitude of outdoor activities including working on skills requirements such as knots and lashings, compass, fire safety and fire building, and swimming as well as merit badges for older scout rank advancement.
The Scouts earned a total of 112 merit badges at camp. Leadership skills were put into practice for the benefit of younger scouts and the development of older scouts.
The troop contributed extensive time on a camp improvement project and participated in the closing camp-wide campfire with an original skit to entertain several troops from Nassau County and beyond.
Troop 10 meets at the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department on 25 Prospect St. on Mondays at 8:00 p.m. on school days. If you are interested in joining Troop 10, please contact Dr. Dwight J Rosenstein at djrosenstein@gmail.com.
