Calling all boys and girls of the Valley!
Moonbounce, rope bridge and archery are a few of the free activities to be offered at the Derby Green on Saturday (Sept 29) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. as part of Housatonic Council Boy Scout Troop 3’s Ed Strang Day.
The event has been held annually since 1994, when the city of Derby welcomed home actor Brian Dennehy to honor Scouting pioneer Edmund D. Strang, Dennehy’s former Cubmaster.
Strang’s biography can be found on the City of Derby’s Hall of Fame page.
A slideshow highlighting the troop’s recent BSA Florida Sea Base sailing adventure will also be presented. Additional activities including rain gutter regatta, obstacle course, international cooking and rope tower building will be offered to boys and girls to introduce them to the adventures of Scouting.
Representatives will be on hand to provide information for Girl Scouts and free membership to Cub Scout Pack 3, Boy Scout Troop 3 and Venture Crew 33 will be available to all eligible youths who complete an application with a parent or guardian present. Current Scouts from throughout the Naugatuck Valley are also invited to attend in uniform and participate in the free activities.
For more information contact Scoutmaster Randy Ritter, 203 732 0343 or visit www.troop3derby.org
