STRONG — Scout Troop 500, which is based in Strong but serves northern Franklin County, is recruiting new members.
Boys and girls can join Scouts BSA:
* if they have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10 years old;
* or have earned the Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years old;
* or are 11, but have not yet reached age 18.
Youth who join now can join the troop when it attends Camp Hinds in Raymond on July 18, where Scouts can take part in swimming, boating, archery, shooting and will learn how to survive in the wilderness.
Scouts will this summer also be clearing some of the running trails behind Mount Abram High School as part of the Camping Merit Badge and plan to take part in parades and other community activities.
