Welcome to Troop 61

We woke up to a light snow on our tents. The events on Saturday were really great - ax throwing, emergency shelter building, first aid, orienteering, and the Klondike race!

What equipment should you or your scout bring on a scout camping trip or overnight? What should you buy? What does the troop have to borrow? Where can you find equipment for affordable prices? See our recommend Equipment Guide to answer these questions.

On January 11th 2013, Troop 61 members journeyed 200 miles into the White Mountains of New Hampshire for a weekend of Ice Climbing Fun. In fellowship with Sudbury Troop 60, Sudbury Troop 63 and the Venture Crew 1776, more than 55 individuals scaled the icy slopes. With Ice Axes in hand, and crampons firmly attached to the their climbing boots and a safety rope for extra comfort, each unit member tested themselves and climbed to their limit. After a full day of climbing, a pizza dinner and early lights out was welcomed by all.

It was a really fun night. We hiked up to our cabin, had pizza, and watched a great movie!
