This page will be used for information about specific events, such as Camping Trips, Council Events, Eagle Projects,
Service Projects, Troop Activities, etc.
Some of these special trips are expensive. We will be looking at fundraising activities to reduce the cost of future
trips.
Sept 22: Bannerman's Island & Castle We would like to advise anyone who chooses to go that some of the paths and trails are steep and there is a lot of
walking -- including 68 steps. Please wear the proper shoes and attire for a hike in the woods. (No high heels etc.) Please
bring tick and bug repellent for use on the island. The island is still as primitive as it was in the early 1900's, No
electricity, No running water. "Portable toilets" will be available at the island and bottled water will be offered
for sale on the boat. Neither the boat or the island is handicapped accessible. No
Baby Strollers Please. Due to safety issues we cannot go inside any of the buildings yet as they are in the process
of being stabilized for our future use.
The Bannerman Island
tours are available Saturday and Sunday, May-Oct
The Pollepel water taxi departs at 1:30pm and will not wait.
