DERBY
– Calling all boys and girls of the Valley!
Moonbounce, rope bridge
and archery are some of the free activities to be offered at the Derby
Green 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 29 as part of Housatonic Council Boy
Scout Troop 3’s Ed Strang Day.
The event has been held annually since
1994, when the city of Derby welcomed home actor Brian Dennehy to honor
Scouting pioneer Edmund D. Strang, Dennehy’s
former Cubmaster.
Strang’s biography can be found on the City
of Derby’s Hall of Fame page.
A
slide show highlighting the Troop’s recent BSA Florida Sea Base sailing
adventure will be presented.
Additional activities including rain
gutter regatta,
obstacle course, international cooking and rope tower building will be
offered to boys and girls to introduce them to the adventures of
Scouting.
Representatives will be on hand to provide information for joining
Girl Scouts and free membership to Cub Scout Pack 3, Boy Scout Troop 3
and Venture Crew 33 will be available to all eligible youths who
complete an application with a parent or guardian present.
Current
Scouts from throughout the Valley are also
invited to attend in uniform and participate in the free activities.
