Current news for Troop 893 for Girls
Scoutmaster Moment I don’t know about you, but lately I feel compelled to wash my hands most times I pass a sink. When I go out for errands (ie, out for milk or a walk in the park) I use sanitizer when I get to the car and wash my hands soon as I get into [...]
Scoutmaster Moment This past week past week has been a whirlwind of news and activity not just within our community, but across the nation as a whole.

Scoutmaster Moment Today is International Women’s Day, always held on March 8th and celebrated around the world in different ways. Started over 100 years ago the purpose is to bring attention to issues women face; socially, politically, economically, and culturally. The US has marked this day since 1975, usually as awareness.

It seems wholly appropriate to have welcomed two new scouts into the troop on the occasion, as well as recognizing [...]

Scoutmaster Moment This week’s photo is a victory photo of all the scouts on the very first 893G Klondike team, with the well-earned 2nd place trophy.

The 893 family did well, with awards going to the Crew and Boys Troop in the Chili Cook-off, and 893GT earning 2nd place [...]
