30 scouts and parents enjoyed a beautiful day hiking our capital city of Hartford. Covering 5+ miles these scouts learned about the history and viewed many sites including: The Colt building, Charter oak tree memorial, Hartford's ancient burial ground, Bushnell park, Soldiers and Sailors arch, Old State House and the Riverwalk to name a few. 

Troop 156 braved a chilly day to hike 10 miles and 1000 feet of elevation gain. The sun was out and the scouts enjoyed a number of points of interest. A spectacular lookout over the Connecticut river valley, a hand dug Quarry, a waterfall and the remains of an old fire tower. The scouts had fun finding cool ice formations and hanging out with their friends.

Troop 156 enjoyed an active day of cross country skiing on Feb 6th at Winding Trails in Farmington, CT

Lots of snow, many miles traveled and a snow ball fight or two.

Troop 156 set out to explore part of the 50 mile Shenipsit Trail. One group spent time identifying local wildlife, while covering 6 miles and about 1000 feet of elevation. The other group covered 12 miles and 1500 feet of elevation, while exploring a couple of troop Eagle projects. Great weather for January with some tired legs at the end.
