Troop 59 went to Custaloga Town Scout Reservation for a Thanksgiving campout. We slept on cots in the dining hall. On the second day we worked all day on Thanksgiving dinner. There was turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, coleslaw, and rolls. Some of the turkey was cooked in the ground(old Boy Scout secret!) There were also A LOT of pies. There was Mass, then dinner, then a slide show. All family members were invited. Some awards and advancements were given out. This was a fun campout with great food, fellowship, and family.

Troop 59 had a fundraiser, which was making pizzas. We started by putting together all of the pizza boxes. Then we made stacks of pepperoni. Twenty six pieces to a stack…no more, no, less! Then we put on the sauce, cheese and pepperoni on the pies. It started at 7:30 a.m. and went to 10:30 a.m. We made 995 pizzas. There was enough pepperoni to go around the world 100 times!
