Troop Devon 50 will be camping at Hickory Run State Park. This large park at the foothills of the Pocono Mountains has 15,990-acres with over 40 miles of hiking trails, three state park natural areas and miles of trout streams. The Boulder Field, a striking boulder-strewn area, is a National Natural Landmark.

Devon 50's 90th Anniversary Celebration, Spring Court of Honor, and Field Day are all being held THIS Saturday, June 17th. Registration closed Friday, and we are expecting a large group of nearly 180 scouts, families, and Devon 50 alumni to celebrate the day. A few important tips for the day:

Since we usually have close to 20 Scouts looking to advance, I will need adult assistance on the Saturday of summer camp to help with the Board of Review process. No prior experience is needed, as we can place with an experienced adult or ASM.
