Boy Scouts Troop 670 continues tradition of growth and leadership at Summer Camp
Founded in 1967 and chartered by Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church, the Roughriders of Cypress BSA Troop 670 have a storied history of excellence. With over 170 Eagle Scouts produced in its more than 57 years of existence, the troop has consistently upheld a proud tradition of attending summer camp annually, offering scouts transformative experiences that nurture personal growth and leadership skills. This year’s camp, held from July 7th to July 13th, featured a variety of activities designed to challenge and engage the scouts, such as wilderness survival training and merit badge workshops.
Scoutmaster Mr. Walker commented, “Each year, I see these young men return from camp with a renewed sense of purpose and maturity. The skills they learn and the friendships they forge here are invaluable, preparing them for the challenges of the future.” Parents have also praised the program, noting the positive changes in their children. Mrs. Gallegos, mother of a scout, said, “My son has grown so much through his years in scouts, particularly during these summer camps. The experiences and lessons learned are something he will carry with him for life.”
The Girl Scouts Troop 670, recently established in 2023, is celebrating a remarkable year of achievements and growth. This year, the Girl Scouts Troop 670 marked a significant milestone by participating in their first summer camp at Lost Valley. The girls demonstrated their skills and resilience, making a lasting impression on their fellow scouts and leaders. This inaugural participation highlighted the inclusive nature of Troop 670, emphasizing that scouting is for everyone.
The Roughriders meet on Monday evenings at 7 PM and welcome any youth in the 5th grade or higher, including both boys and girls. Prospective members are encouraged to visit and see what Scouting has to offer. More information is available at www.troop670.com or by contacting recruiting.t670@troopmaster.email.
