Troop 111's Web Page

Our troop is located in Waymart, Pennsylvania, we meet in an American Legion Hall in the middle of town. Our troop is involved in a lot of activities. For example we try to have a camp out at least once a month. Another example is we go to the annual Klondike Derby, first Aid meet, and Spring Camporee. Every year we participate in Scout Day in Government. Last year we sent four scouts, this year we sent two scouts. I'd like to congratulate the scouts who went to scout day in government. They were Darren and Brian Howell. I'd like to congratulate the scouts who went to the Merit Badge College. They are Josh Kulick who got Metal Work and Computer, Jeff Morcom who got Metal Work and Fingerprinting, and Keith Morcom who also got Metal Work and Fingerprinting.

• Earning Merit Badges
• Helping People




' Scout Meetings
We have meeting every Monday from 7:00 to 8:30pm. In the meetings we talk about what we are doing in the future like going on hikes or when we are camping out. We pick a merit badge and work on it together as a troop. We also have a time where the older scouts help the younger scouts on gaining rank.

Fundraisers

Our troop is involved in some fundraisers. Some of the fundraisers are:


• Popcorn Sale
• Gertrude Hawk Candy Sale

  Camp at Goose Pond
  Two years ago we went to camp on the week of July 26th. Last year we went going on the week of June 25th. This year we are going on the week of June 24th. The people who went to camp are Shane Bayly, Aj Gaudenzi, Brian Howell,Matt Ormiston, Josh Kulick, Jeff Morcom, Keith Morcom, Alex Richter, Joe Romanowski, Mike Minor, Joe Smith, Billy Smith, and Danny Williams. There is a lot of thing to do at camp. There is a polar Bear swim wear you get up really early in the morning and jump into the freezing cold waters of Goose Pond. After your done with your merit badge classes you can go to "free swim", go out on a boat, or Canoe. This year we had the camp site "Slocum".

  9. Scouting For Food

     Scouting for Food is an annual program to help fight hunger in our local community.  Scouts from Waymart Troop 111 distributed door hangers to people in the Waymart Community on February 24th 2001.  These door hangers asked for food for our local food pantry.  On March 3rd 2001 we went out and collected over 1,000 items for the hungry.  These food items were turned over to the Methodist Church Food Pantry.  This year was the third year in a row since our reorganization.  We  were very pleased with the great support of the Waymart Community.  We hope to keep the " Scouting For Food" program an annual tradition.
