Think of the great opportunities at summer camp from June 14-20, 2020.

  • You can earn several merit badges toward your Star, Life, and Eagle ranks.
  • You can improve your archery, rifle, swimming, and boating skills.
  • You can earn your Totin’ Chip award by learning knife, axe, and saw skills.
  • You can help the Troop qualify for water sports (canoe trips, etc) by taking the BSA Lifeguard course (14 and above).
  • You can help Troop 48 win competitive pool, lakefront, and field events on Friday!
  • You will get to know other Troop 48 people better — many lasting friendships have been formed through camping.
  • Camp Davy Crockett and Cherokee Lake are beautiful in the summer, and we see deer, raccoons, turkeys, and other wildlife.
  • We have relaxation time for games, crafts, and lying in our hammocks.
  • IT’S FUN !!

Recognizing Eastman

Troop 48 Who have parents or relationship that work at Eastman

We want you to be a part of the honor guard made up of several different Troops from the Sequoyah Council for an upcoming service dinner. These Scouts should be scouts in our unit and others whose parents or guardians work at Eastman Chemical Company or who are contractors at Eastman.

The Sequoyah Council is recognizing Eastman Chemical Company at the upcoming Distinguished Citizens Dinner on Thursday February 27th.

Eastman’s leadership team wants part of that event to focus on the Scouts of Eastman Employees or contractors.

The way that those Scouts will participate is an honor guard as a part of the opening of the event. Scouts will either carry their unit flag, state or American flag in.

Hopefully there are about 50-75 scouts who will be a part of this. Scouts under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please sign up on Tuesday if you are interested. Cut off for sign up is February 14th.
