There is still time to register for CTC up to and included Friday!  Please RSVP to the event and let Mr. Zoller know as well!

Get ready for this weekend's CTC Camp out!

Arrive at the Scout House by 5 pm Friday afternoon to leave for Camp Cutler.  Class A shirts must be worn to and from camp.  We will not be making dinner at the camp site Friday evening so arrive to the Scout House fed!  

The weather for Naples, NY this weekend right now looks colder with lake effect showers.  Warm clothes/dry clothes and sleeping set up are very important!  We are in the Khaki subcamp again near entrance 1 off Clement Road in Naples, NY.  

Please Pack; 10 Essentials in a day pack that you have with you all day Saturday while up at the main Camp Cutler for morning and afternoon activates.

Forgot the 10 Essentials?  Check here!   Every Packing List Starts With the 10 Scout Basic Outdoor Essentials

Cell phone coverage is very limited at Camp Cutler at best.  We are at the same Subcamp as last year (Khakis) using Parking Lot 1 again.  (Maps to follow).

12 years olds may participate in rifle shooting at camp.  I handed out permission forms at the meeting last week and I'll have more forms at departure Friday.  Scouts keep the completed form in their daypack to present at the ranges if asked.

We anticipate being back at the Scout House around 9:30am Sunday morning.  

Let me know if you have any questions this week!

Quick update on the project. We are looking for scouts to come help us starting closer to 10am. There will be some work happening earlier in the morning that won't require a lot of extra hands. We are hoping to be ready to start laying gravel, sand and pavers by around 10am and are hoping to get everything finished by late afternoon. Come when you can, stay as long as you can. Thank you!

Jake is planning for the main portion of the work to take place on Saturday, October 10 starting likely around 8:30 am and will likely be most of the day. Please sign up to get a head count.

Elim Life Church 1679 Dalton Rd., Lima, NY 14485.

We will be excavating a large area (32' diameter), moving the excavated material elsewhere on the property, laying in landscaping fabric, crushed stone, paver base and pavers, building the fire pit ring, and moving pea gravel from an old playground to fill in the seating area around the fire pit. Bring work gloves. Pizza and drinks will be provided.

On Thursday 10/1, the troop will be hosting our Court of Honor. It will take place 7 pm at the Rush Fire Department. Scouts are required to wear full class A uniforms.

The Troop is headed back to CTC this October. Early bird registration closes 9/23, please sign up on our website.

Mark your calendars and pack your gear – the 27th Annual CTC will be held at J. Warren Cutler Scout Reservation from October 16-18, 2026.

From competition and camp-wide activities to patch collecting and trading, CTC brings Scouts, leaders, and families together for one unforgettable weekend.
