Oceanography Merit Badge Outing by Heather Bird
Oceanography was a huge success at the Columbus Zoo. We had a great group of boys that went on our day event. They will finish up the remaining two requirements during the next couple of weeks and complete the merit badge. The scouts got to touch star fish, go behind the scenes of the aquarium, talk to an actual oceanographer, complete 5 different experiments, and create a diorama. Josh G. even survived a crash collision with a low flying duck. We had a great time and look forward to returning to the zoo for other scouting activities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |

Scouting For Food  On Saturday, 17 March 2012,
approximately 20 scouts and scouters from Troop 71 fanned out into the assigned Beavercreek neighborhoods and collected over 750 pieces
of canned, boxed, and packaged food items. However, the scouts were not just any scouts. They were scouts who were also participating in that
day's Five-Mile Hike and Overnight Camp-Out. So, it was a double event for them.
