Boy Scout Troop 97 Seeks New Scouts

Troop 97 is a Boy Scout troop located in Manhasset. We do many fun and educational activities.

Our first event of the year was our annual ski trip at Stratton Mountain in Vermont. This has been a tradition for many years that scouts and their families have enjoyed together.

Another fun winter event was cabin camping at the YMCA Frost Valley. At this camp we hiked, built makeshift shelters, and even ziplined. We also went to the Wolf Conservatory in Salem, New York. We learned about wolves and even got to sleep alongside them.

Every summer we go to Onteora Scout Reservation for our council’s summer camp for one week. We do many fun activities there, such as craftworks, shooting, and water sports. It is a great opportunity to earn merit badges. In the fall, we went backpacking in Harriman State Park. We hiked to the peak and camped at a 1,000 foot elevation.

We have many great activities planned for this year. Two major trips will be camping at Camp Hero in Montauk, and traveling to Gettysburg Pennsylvania to see historic sites and camp at Gettysburg National Military Park. We will do much more in addition to these.

Our scouts have greatly helped the community in many ways. We are sponsored by the American Legion of Manhasset. We march in the annual Memorial Day Parade, place flags in front of the graves of veterans, and much more.

Troop 97 meets every Tuesday that school is in session at Shelter Rock Elementary School Big Gym. For more information, please contact john.dangelo@ troop97.org.
