Local Boy Scouts raise money to attend National Scout Jamboree

 

Local Boy Scout Troop 87 is pleased to announce that 4 Cameron boys out of 36 from the Pony Express Council consisting of St Joseph, Maryville, Trenton, Chillicothe, Lathrop and Plattsburg have been selected to attend the National Jamboree in Summit Bechtel WV.  Troop 87 is sponsored by the American Legion  Elmer Ellis Post 33.  Pictured from left to right front row is Cody Terhune, Damien Dunham and back row is Nate Gallian and Geoffrey Funchess.  The trip is for July 19-29, 2017 and will cost the boys $2000 each to go.  These boys have been working hard all summer doing various fundraisers and currently have two going on.  They are selling Super Rope Cinches for $5.00 each for those with difficulty tying knots that can hold up to 1200 pounds depending on rope size.  Also, on October 22, 2016, they are having a garage sale at the Terhune residence of 302 e 14th ter, Cameron MO from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Currently the boys have only raised $1301.71 of the entire $8000 goal.  On their tri,  they will get to experience many things that they can't experience at local Boy Scout Camp Geiger which they dearly love.  At Summit Bechtel, they can go white water rafting, 3 hour zipline  no ground contact course, trading patches,  cave exploring, bmx bike riding, skate boarding, robotics, four wheeler racing and many other merit badges which are rare to this area.  They will do service projects in WV also.  They will be joining more than 30,000 boy scouts from all over the world. 

If you can't attend the garage sale or but would  like to purchase the rope cinch or make a donation, please mail checks to Laura Funchess at 207 Dodge St, Cameron MO 64429 or Amanda Terhune 302 e 14th Terr, Cameron MO  64429. We will deliver Rope Cinches or mail to you or make arrangements to meet for these orders.   Please make checks payable to Troop 87 Booster Club.  The boys want to thank the community for their support.  This is a huge honor for these local Cameron Kids.
