Don't miss the Boy Scout Memorabilia Show & Patch Auction to be held Saturday in Bozrah

A Boy Scout Memorabilia Show and Swap will be held this Saturday, February 9th, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m, at 115 Fitchville Road, Bozrah. The show is to benefit Friends of JN Webster.

June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation is located in Ashford. Established in 1964, the reservation occupies 1,200 acres of land that is home to approximately 1,230 Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts each summer during its six-week season.

The Friends of Webster is a group of people who work together to support the program at the camp. Many of its members attended JNW as youth or as adults, and some even served on staff.

Members of FOW have carried out several projects to enhance and improve the programs at JNW over the years. The new Ranhoff Nature/Ecology Center was built with funds raised by FOW. The Friends recently renovated the Trading Post and are currently working on the Health Lodge.

Two Savage competition target rifles are available for use at the shooting range, thanks to a FOW purchase. The group would like to purchase more rifles for the scouts' use.

A patch auction will be held at 1 p.m. and will include OA, camps, Jamboree and other memorabilia.

Lunch and refreshments will be available. A $2 admission will get you in the door to support a great camp. Scouts in uniform get in free. For more information call 822-6235.
