Our Scouting Year has been in Full Swing
Troop 45 is continuing a century of Scouting
In September, we held out Famil BBQ event to kick off the 2021-22 scouting year. This year scouts and their families enjoyed a beautiful day at Wantaugh State Park.
October included a weekend trip to Valley Forge
November was very busy with camping at Baiting Hallow, Wreath Deliveries, and our 100th Anniversary Celebration (pics forthcoming)
December we had our annual Klondike Prep/Holiday Celebration at Citta (aka "Turttle House")
January normally culminates with the Klondike Derby; however, this has been postponed to February, yet we are still ready!
February was our annual troop family dinner, and will be followed by Klondike Derby and Igloo camping
March was a return to the Minoala St. Patrick's Day parade and a weekend of Shotgun Shooting and Alpine Hike/Camping
We still have more great events coming for April-June, culminating in a week of Summer Camp, to cap off our scouting year.
We look forward to continuing a full year of activities

Supporting our local heros!
Summer 2020
The scouts chose to give to the heroes of our community who put them selves in harms way to help us all. Some of the money they earned for summer camp thru Wreath Sales and Father's Day Pancake Breakfast was used to put together snack boxes. These boxes were distributed to Winthrop Hospital, Nassau County's 3rd Precinct, Mineola's Ambulance Corp, Dept of Public Works, Water Dept, and Post Office.

Despite the challenges of COVID-19, the troop continues with activities, within state mandated safety protocols.
Currently, we are able to meet with the full troop at our normal location.
However, masks are required at all times.
