Collectively they earned 25 merit badges and partly com pleted another 14 merit badges. Merit badges are a set of requirements for which the boys learn about and demonstrate competency around specific topics. Completed merit badges at the recent camp included camping, archery, first aid, canoeing, leatherworking, sw im m ing, k ay ak in g , metal work, Indian lore, archeology, wood working, w ild e r n e s s s u rv iv a l and citizenship in the community. In order to progress to the coveted rank of Eagle Scout, a boy must demonstrate that he lives by the principles of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. co m p le te basic requirements of scouting such as knot tying, first aid and other camping skills, earn 21 merit badges, log the required hours of service, and demonstrate leadership by completing a major project and serving in leadership capacities. James A. Lovell Jr., astronaut on Apollo 13, had the following to say about the Boy Scout program: “1 think the character that you learn in Scouting—working together, being honest with each other, being close knit ... and depending on one another, on our camping trips and doing things—all these things build character in a young man that he takes with him into adulthood and makes him a much better citizen. And that’s why Scouting to me has always been an organization I’ve always wanted to help. 1 think it’s one of the best youth organizations that we.. .have in this country.” Participants in Boy Scout Troop 691 say their ex p erien ces w o u ld n ’t be possible without all those who have donated time, resources and funds to support the troop in attending Scout Camp and other related activities, especially Bruce Young Logging, who made a donation of firewood used for their fundraising efforts.
