• Merit Badges: We hope to offer Animal Science, Aviation, Chess, Digital Technology, Electricity, Energy, Radio, Railroading, Robotics, Signs, Sig- nals, and Codes and Space Exploration Merit Badges.
• Opportunities: We’re working on some unique opportunities for merit badges — a quick train ride from Hoyt railroad station will bring scouts to the Danbury Railway Museum for Railroading Merit Badge… visit an offsite Farm for Animal Science MB, and Aviation Merit Badge at the Danbury Airport with the Civil Air Patrol.
• Gaming Network — to build and play.
More to come…
• Round Robin Game schedule will be set up to allow Scouts to participate in other activities.
• Bears becoming Webelos and all Webelos are invited to experience an overnight Boy Scout campout. To have fun in the outdoors, learn camp- ing skills, work on rank requirements, and meet Scouts and adult leaders from Troops.
You can camp one or two nights or just come for the day! Campsites are available in upper and lower Hoyt! There will also be a lunch canteen.
