Greetings Troop!  As most of you are aware, T2860 has a high school age Scout program called RECON!  This program seeks to encourage older scouts to stay active and involved in their Troop and foster a life long love of Scouting.  Some Troops have a Venture Crew, we have RECON!

Scouts are permitted to participate in the T2860 RECON program the day they enter High School in September or become of HS age. 

RECON members recently held their annual planning conference selecting the next year’s events and schedule.  Attached is a pps file depicting some of the areas and events we’re looking at attending.  As per our name, some events selected are likely to lead to the Troop attending in following years.  RECON will bring home a great deal of information about new areas for the Troop.  Other events are targeted at providing time for friendships and fellowship, something that slips away from all of us as we get older and our lives become busier and complicated as high school age scouts soon find out.  Our goal is for T2860 Scouts to always be Scouts and help the program continue long into the future.
