In recent decades, Troop 335 has called Camp Buffalo home for summer camp. For many years, we would camp during the week of the 4th of July (although not for the last few years) in the Raincrow campsite.
They say that rainy campouts are the most memorable. Many of our current scouts and scouters have never experienced a downpour like we had on June 30, 2021!
In the middle of Wednesday afternoon, around three inches of rain fell in an hour, sending scouts scurrying from their merit badge classes to seek shelter. Remarkably, only one tent got swamped, and the troop was able to recover enough to host our parents later in the evening for family night… although we had to move our dinner from Raincrow to the lodge.
After we dried out on Thursday, our scouts erected a gateway memorializing the Great Raincrow Flood of 2021 and went on to successfully finish their merit badges and our week of summer camp!
Please connect with us and help us to identify and reach out everyone who has participated in our troop in the last century.
