This year, Troop 1249 will be going to Camp Onteora for Summer Camp. Our dates this year are Sunday, July 15th to Saturday, July 21st! This is an exciting camp that we have not been to before. Camp Onteora is a 1,400-acre camp located in the Catskill Forest Preserve of New York. Onteora Scout Reservation is affectionately referred to by those who have experienced the camp as "Land in the Sky." Located above 2,000' elevation, the camp is heavily forested and features fine Brook Trout fishing in Orchard Lake. The property on which the reservation is located has a long and rich history, which started with the Lenni-Lenape Indians.

What we did these past couple of months!
What an exciting June outing we had. This month we went to Gettysburg Military National Park. Such a great weekend, the weather was 82 degrees and sunny. A total of 8 scouts and 2 adults went on this 10 mile bike hike around the battlefield. Gettysburg was the Civil War's bloodiest battle and was also the inspiration for President Abraham Lincoln's immortal "Gettysburg Address". Over 46,000 soldiers died during this 3 day battle. Check out these pictures!
