Devon 50 Troop Activities

Devon 50 consists of about 50 scouts of all ranks and eligible ages. The troop has activities every other weekend, such as hikes, camping trips, troop competitions, merit badge events, biking trips, canoeing, ski trips etc. During the summer months we have major events, including two weeks of summer camp and at least one high adventure trip.
