SCOUTING AROUND TOWN Troop 55 Riverside
The scouts of Troop 55 Riverside have spent another weekend working hard for their entertainment! The boys spent a weekend camping along with Troop 170 Dartmouth at Camp Buxton in Rehoboth this month where they got dirty cleaning up the space for their outdoor amphitheater. In one day of combined efforts they were able to sweep the space clear from debris and fit it with new benches, dual fire pits and a center stage. Troop 55 and all the scouts that use this campground will benefit from this area for years to come! Great job, Troops!
Summer Events
Girl Scouts continue to have fun and perform community service during their summer vacation! In July, members of East Providence Girl Scout Troop 505 went roller skating and played laser tag at USA Skates in Rumford (picture 1). August found them attending a “Movie Under the Stars Night” watching the movie Epic and enjoying popcorn with other East Providence and Rehoboth Girl Scouts (picture 2). In September, Troop 505 members assisted parishioners of the Colonial Baptist Church in Rumford collect 20 backpacks and fill them with school supplies (picture 3). The backpacks were delivered to the East Providence City Hall for delivery to Orlo School in Rumford the day before school began. Girls can join Girl Scouts by calling Cindy at 433-0413 or visiting www.gsri.org.

Four members of Troop 4 recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Congratulations to Hunter Aparicio, Alex Hurd, Russell Allen, and Joshua DiBastiani on this prestigious achievement. Troop 4 also provided five members of the Yawgoog Scout Staff, the most by any troop. Pat Afonso, Alex Hurd, Frank Oliver, Nick Vaccaro, and Ted Sanford, Jr. all spent their summer at Camp Yawgoog instructing other scouts and working behind the scenes to ensure a successful experience for all campers. Ted Sanford, Jr. has accomplished the rare feat of earning every merit badge offered by the Boy Scouts. Our first camping trip this year was to Mt. Monadnock, where the boys hiked several miles to the top of the mountain. Upcoming activities include a historical walk through Providence, Scouting for Food, and monthly camping trips.
