The founders of Troop 97G - Lilli O, Emma L, Layla S, Tia T and Kierra F had their first official Troop meeting, through Zoom, on March 25th, 2020. The pandemic didn't stop these scouts from  holding Troop events, and that included a Memorial Flag Placing day, hikes at the Kennedy Dell park and the Island Pond 5 mile loop, a multitude of Troop meetings and then finally their first camping trip at Camp Bullowa, Stony point. By October, Leah H had joined the Troop, and was the sixth founding scout. After a successful nine months, Troop 97G was off to an optimistic future.
