Thanks to a generous donation from a friend of Troop 183, the Scouts in the Lehighton troop were able to spend a weekend in Maryland and enjoy an unforgettable day on the water.
The boys reeled in a ton of fish and made memories that will last a lifetime.
The weather ended up cooperating, allowing them to spend nearly eight hours exploring the Chesapeake Bay. A huge thank you to Captain Phil, and his first mate Joe, who went above and beyond to help the troop and make sure everyone had everything they needed throughout the trip.
The Scouts represented Troop 183 with enthusiasm, teamwork and great attitudes.
