Troop 135 is a camping troop!  Our scout leadership decides what camping trips they would like to do over the course of the year and they bring those proposals to adult leadership for advice and consent.  Our scouts attempt to introduce a mix of adventure/activity campouts along with "go relax in the woods" type campouts.  Typical campouts include fishing trips, ropes courses, rifle shooting, ice climbing, skiing and more.  We hold an annual "New Scout" campout at Hoyt Scout Reservation in Redding, CT. So our new members who crossover from Cub Scouting or not can see what it would be like to spend the weekend in nature with friends and family

The troop maintains enough tents for all of the scouts.  We also have patrol boxes and camp stoves for the scouts to use.  We believe that it is completly acceptatble have the comforts of home with a side disconnecting and taking in the fresh air. 

On a typical campout, younger scouts will be able to work on advancement while older scouts might be working on some of the Eagle Merit Badges including Camping and Cooking.  They scouts learn teamwork as they set up and break down camp.  They also make lifetime friends as we all sit around the campfire in the evening to tell stories and sing some songs.

Troop 135 is an active participant at Camp Sequassen in New Hartford, CT each year.  This is a one-week summer camp where the scouts have a blast with one activity after another.  Scouts work on Merit Badges individually and the Troop vies for the coveted "Super Troop" award by participating in every event we can with great scout spirit to boot!
