Scouts from Troop 170 assisted our friends at the Rotary in their Annual International Dinner at the Center of Rural Development in Somerset Ky. The Scouts helped with setup of the dining hall, assisted chefs from around the world setup up their stations, Delivered Ice, Water, Manned the Drink Stations, Washed Dished, Trash Service and helped Clean up after the event. The Scouts got to enjoy some delicious and exotic foods from around the world as payment for their service as well as earn some valuable service hours.

On 2-22-25 Troop 170 Braved the Slopes of Perfect North in Indiana.

Scouts and Family Members enjoyed a day of slipping and sliding and finished the day at Larosa’s Pizza.

Scouts From Troop 170 and Cub Scout Pack 134 attended Scout Sunday with our Chartered Organization East Somerset Baptist Church.

Troop 170 will not be participating in the Blue Grass Council Klondike Derby February 17-19. Instead, there will be a Troop Campout at Pickett State Park, TN, on February 25-26. Also, mark your calendar for two service projects in the coming weeks: The Rotary International Dinner on Saturday, March 4 and the Shamrock Shuffle on Saturday, March 11. For more details check out the Calendar page.

Every Scout and registered adult is required to have an annual physical completed on the official BSA Medical Form. Troop 170 will provide free physicals starting at 6 pm on Thursday, April 28, at East Somerset Baptist Church.

Please complete your portion of the forms prior to your arrival. Click here to download the current BSA Medical form. You must also bring a copy of your current immunization record — adults must have had a tetanus shot within the past 10 years — as well as a photo copy of the front and back of your health insurance card.

This is NOT just for those attending summer camp, but is required for all “high adventure” activities such as canoeing, caving, and climbing.

If you are unable to attend, you are still responsible for getting this physical exam and submitting your completed form to the troop as soon as possible.

Citizenship in Society

The first new merit badge for youth in the Scouts BSA program since 2017 officially launches today. Called Citizenship in Society, it provides Scouts with opportunities to learn more about our world by encouraging them to explore information on diversity, equity, inclusion and ethical leadership — and to learn why these qualities are important in society and in Scouting.
