Hello all, My name is Hunter and I am the new Historian of Troop 281.  Tonight was an incredible meeting. It was comprised of planning for the upcoming Mystery campout, a great presentation of Troop 281 history, provided by Mr. Siebenburgen. We learned 281 was originally chartered with AHUMC, but under the name of Forestville Methodist Episcopal Church.  Thank you Mr. Siebenburgen!! Join us at next week's meeting for a robotics demonstration.  Until next time,  Thank you for reading the Troop 281 blog.
