The troop received news that Camp Henderson will not be holding its summer camp this year. They feel that with the expected CDC guidelines and NYS rules for overnight camps in 2020 that they would not be able to offer the camp experience we all have come to expect at Henderson. This was discussed at the Troop Committee meeting last night and all checks for camp the troop received have not been cashed and will be returned or destroyed. All scout accounts will be credited as well. We are instructing Camp Henderson to roll our troop deposit over for the 2021 season for the same Week 4 of camp and the same site.

Many BSA councils are putting together virtual summer camps. Our Connecticut Yankee Council is planning on running "Camp Phoenix" virtual camp this summer with the details to be released soon. The troop PLC and committee are committed to offer some sort of outdoor experience this summer. Stay tuned for details.

Stay Safe

Scouts BSA Troop 9 Danbury is officially postponing our Annual Pancake Breakfast originally scheduled for April 5th. We appreciate the support of our sponsors and community and it remains our hope to hold our Breakfast on a new date under discussion at this time. Once the date is finalized we will be in touch again. Our troop will continue to keep good thoughts for our community during this national crisis. 

UPDATE: BSA has released a new medical form in December 2019. All NEW submissions will need to be on the new form. See the links section on the website for obtaining the new form, or Google BSA health form. 

All Scouts and Scouters who participate in any scouting activity are required to submit the BSA medical form (sections A & B) annually. Those attending summer camp at Camp Henderson also need to have section C completed. The form and info sheet can be found in the links section of the website.

Please note that Camp Henderson has updated the summer camp schedule for 2020. We will be at camp from July 25 to August 1.  It will again be the cross over week for July into August.

This annual campout is for scout families to join the troop for a fun-filled weekend. We camp in anything from tents to RVs. The troop has equipment to lend out if needed. There is hiking, biking, the beach and more to keep everyone happy.  Saturday we enjoy a pot luck dinner together.

You can find the checklist for cold weather camping on the website in the "Cold Weather Camping" section. We will be using it Tuesday for the shakedown.
