The 2,338-acre Gifford Pinchot State Park is in northern York County along PA 177 between the towns of Rossville and Lewisberry. The park consists of wooded areas and hillsides from reverted farm fields surrounding the 340-acre Pinchot Lake, which serves as the prime attraction.

This park has it all!  Large lake for boating and fishing, dozens of hiking tails including a piece of the mason-dixon trail, and modern facilities. We will be camping in the organized group tenting area E.  We have water and bathrooms within 200 yards.  We should get in a morning hike and a free afternoon for scout development or fun at the lake.

It's time again to select your Merit Badges for this year's summer camp.

Are you a Scout? If so, you got a printed handout with all the information you need to select which Merit Badges you want to take, and then tell me, Mr. Goehringer, either in person at a Troop Meeting, or by email (to both john.goehringer@gmail.com and scouts@dmcomputing.com) so I can register you. Registration starts April 6, 2024. Don't have the handout? No problem, a copy is available here. Don't like that you need to turn you head sideways to read the schedule? Then try this page. Remember you can choose only 1 Merit Badge or activity per time period, some Badges take 2 time periods, and it you choose to be at the lake in the morning, you need to stay at the lake all morning.

Saturday April 13, 9:00 am

It was nice while it lasted... While it served us well throughout the pandemic its time to pack up our tent and cleanup our outdoor meeting space.  If we get enough help this should go pretty quickly.  I would like to meet at 9:00 am, please wear work clothes. 

I would like to salvage the fabric but the aluminum frame was destroyed this past winter.  We expect to load the aluminum on the small trailer and take it to a salvage yard.  Please make yourself available to help!

Register for the BSA National Day of Prayer on May 2, 2024 at 5:30 pm

Scouts of all faiths are being asked to participate in the National Day of Prayer by reading the sacred texts of their faiths beginning at 5:30 pm local time in each of the time zones around the world. Scouts may participate at home, reading on their own or with their family, or, in their faith location, and consider inviting a friend, too. Consider taking a picture, and sharing it to the Troop website.
