Sienna Troop 140
The T140 Scouts destined for Philmont this next Summer had their first “shakedown” hike over the weekend of December 4 – 5, 2021. The one-night backpacking trip was intended to help prepare the Scouts and Advisors for their 7 to 12-day treks in NM. This was a chance to test out boots, packs, and backcountry cooking skills. In all, there were 26 participants that hiked 10 – 12 miles in total at Lake Houston Wilderness Park (LHWP).
Troop 140’s newest Arrowman candidates participated in an Order of the Arrow (OA) Callout Ceremony on Sunday, December 5th, 2021. OA is Scouting’s honor society for those that uphold the ideals of Scouting, but candidates must pass an Ordeal to be permitted entry. The Scouts Ryan Bradley, Brandon Ikwuagwu, and Zach Ruben were elected by their peers to be OA members. Additionally, Jenny Bradley was selected as an adult advisor for OA membership.
The Troop also saw three current Ordeal OA members participate in the Brotherhood Walk to gain the next rank of OA membership, Brotherhood. These were Aiden Bradley, Nick Ettinger, and Michelle Ruben.
