Scouts earn badges at campBoy Scouts from New Market’s Troop 268 visited a Virginia camp late last month to earn a series of merit badges, according to troop historian Josh Bryan, 13, of Mount Airy. The weeklong camp began on June 29, when the 22 boys and five adult scout leaders left from the parking lot of the Food Lion in New Market, driving four hours to the camp, located around of Lake Merriweather at the Goshen Scout Reservation in southern Virginia. ‘‘It was definitely worth waking up at 5 a.m. to see the sunrise over the lake,” said James Bryan, Josh’s father and one of the adult scout leaders who accompanied the troop, in a press release from the troop. The troop stayed at Camp Olmstead, one of the four camps at the reservation and the only one with a mess hall. Josh said this allowed the boys to concentrate on their merit badges because they did not have to spend time cooking their own food. The boys attending the camp from Troop 268 ranged in age from 11 to 15 years old, and while the older boys could choose which badges they wanted to pursue, the younger boys had to participate in a program called Trailshead. This is a program to teach first-year scouts basic scouting skills and help them through merit badges appropriate to their age and skill level.
