Let the games begin

West University Boy Scout Troop 266 enjoyed a week-long adventure at Bear Creek Scout Reservation in Hunt, Texas. Accompanied by six adult leaders, the 30 boys earned a combined more than 125 merit badges, including cooking, lifesaving, astronomy, rifle and canoeing. Troop 266 was the largest troop in attendance during that session and was the winner of the Bear Creek Games. Grant Dionne and Colin Senftleber (pictured, from left) won the Swim Race. Karsten Wilkinson won the Ecology Quiz with the highest score of the summer. Reid Delgado won the Top Shot Award in rifle shoot with a score of 37/50. Robert Day, senior patrol leader, participated in the C.O.P.E. Program and won the Climbing Award. Troop 266 meets every Tuesday at West U Methodist and welcomes boys fifth grade through high school.
