(Chelsea Update would like to thank Bob Milbrodt for the information in this story.)
Last Monday, the Chelsea Kiwanis Club got an update on scouting activity in the Chelsea Area.
PACK 455 has taken day and overnight trips locally to the Discovery Center, the Chelsea Fire Station, and a U of M stadium tour. They also visited Cranbrook and plan to catch a Mudhens’ game this summer between camp-outs.
TROOP 413 has taken 4 and 6 mile hikes, helped our club with our annual Fruit Sale, and built a bridge at the Rod and Gun Club. This summer they plan to go fishing (which includes catching, gutting, cooking, and eating the fish), and helping our club by selling popcorn at the fair. Another Eagle project is a boardwalk at the American Legion.
TROOP 425 took a trip to Buffalo to tour the USS Little Rock. This summer will include a hike at Philmont Scout Camp in New Mexico and camping in Ohio.
TROOP 476 plans summer camping including wilderness survival. They will be having a mystery trip again this year as well. They also talked about the Order of the Arrow, a program activity intended to recognize those scouts who best exemplify scout virtues of cheerful service, camping, and leadership.
This Monday, Memorial Day, we will not meet, honoring those who sacrificed for our freedom.
Normally, the club meeting begins each Monday at 6:15 p.m. in the St. Joseph Mercy Chelsea Hospital cafeteria, and the speakers begin at about 6:45 p.m.
Everyone is invited to the club’s meetings to learn about Kiwanis.
