NORWICH – Local Boy Scout Troop 62 will be having an open house to develop community awareness about the organization’s volunteer opportunities in Norwich.

The open house will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 10 at Emmanuel Episcopal Church on West Main Street in Norwich. The event is free and will give participants a chance to understand the volunteer efforts of the Boy Scouts and offer information to boys 8-18 about the benefits of joining an organization focused on helping the community.

“It’s especially important during times like the flood,” said Scoutmaster Cliff Ketchum. He went on to stress the importance of community awareness and participation during difficult and tragic times.

The Boy Scouts of America have over 100 years of history volunteering in towns and cities across the country and focus primarily on giving back to the community. Scouts pride themselves on being able to rally and respond during times of extreme hardship, said Ketchum.
