English Exchange Scouts

Chris Green and Paul Smedley, members of the Medehamstede Explorer Scouts from Peterborough, England, were guests of Troop 3 for 3 weeks this summer. In additon to attending a week of summer camp with us at Ed Strang Scout Reservation they also were hosted by several Troop 3 families who provided them with American hospitality.

Many thanks to the Thompsons, Mahans, Poppas, Stankyes and Herdes for being terrific hosts and to Mrs. Thompson for coordinating the exchange hosts. Also, many thanks to Mr. Martin Hall who arranged  the exchange from Peterborough, and to Dr. Robert Feeney, a Troop 3 alumnus who supports our International Exchange Scout program.  Scouts can contact Chris at Green_508@hotmail.com and Paul at smeds@hotmail.co.uk   Our WISE trip scouts hope to visit with Chris and Paul when we visit the World Scout Jamboree.
