The scouts enjoyed an event-packed weekend that included exhibits from various skilled trades, demonstrations from local craftsmen, a landing by U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, and activities such as zip lines and rock climbing. The culmination was a fireworks display on Saturday evening.
On May 27, 2025, Troop 18 participated in their annual bike night, led by Matt Link. The scouts learned about bicycle safety and practiced technical skills on the roads and trails at Chatfield Hollow State Park in Killingworth.
