August 12-17 2019 - NYLT
Recently two scouts from our troop, Nicholas R. and Nathan S., attended the second week of National Youth Leadership Training.
NYLT is a six day long program that teaches scouts leadership skills and prepares them for taking higher leadership positions in their troops. Over the six days the scouts were taught important skills such as the EDGE method, FSNP, etc. NYLT is a great opportunity for scouts who want leadership positions in their troop, and will help lead you towards Eagle.

August 20 - 25 2019 - 50 Miler!
Troop 455 took part in a 50 mile hike, in order to get the BSA 50-Miler Award. The hike itself took six days for the scouts to complete, with service projects on the first and last days.
The Scouts hiked from Sol Duc Trailhead, through Olympic National Park, to Hoh Rainforest Trailhead. The Scouts in attendance were Aldion, Ben S, Ben W, Max, and Nathaniel S. The Scouts completed the 50 miler by two means, hiking and biking. While The Scouts were hiking along the trail, they encountered a bear. Fortunately it was at a safe distance and no scout was in danger.
This was an amazing achievement for everyone that went and involved a lot of planning an practice outings to make it a success.
