• Nyssa Boy Scout Troop 450 is currently fundraising to pay expenses for a nine-day, 50-mile high adventure outing at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. The trip will be June 20-July 3.
To prepare for the hike, the Scouts have been taking 5-mile hikes as most of the daily hikes will be between 5 and 8 miles, with a 10.8-mile uphill hike in the mix. Each participating Scout will earn the 50-mile patch for completing the hike.
The troop has been holding fundraisers to help pay for lodging and transportation to and from New Mexico. Last summer they held a beef drawing for two halves of beef. Recently, Campbell Tractor donated a Traeger grill to the troop. The drawing for the Traeger and a second drawing for a Coleman tailgate grill will be held on April 1. The troop is selling 200 tickets, with 160 sold so far at $10 apiece. To purchase tickets, contact Ed Petersen at 541-709-0058.
In late April, the troop will have a drawing for a handmade quilt and handmade corn hole game.
