A total of 12 Marion Troop 32 Boy Scouts made it through a six-day survival camp at Camp Cachalot in Carver.

The Scouts competed in rifle shooting, archery, fishing, swim and survival tests.  Troop Assistant Scoutmaster Bob Nakashian, acted as a guide to the Boy Scouts through the entire week.

Troop 32 took all three awards in the “Top Gun” Rifleman award.  Zachary "BA" Pateakos took first place in the 22 rifle shooting competition, Matt Hlady took second place and David "Mason" Sheldon secured third place.

Dylan Villa also completed the mile swim.

“Thank you to Mr. Bob Nakashian for attending Camp Cachalot for a week-his second season doing that with the Boy Scout Troop. Excellent job and we are all indebted to you,” said Troop 32 Scout Leader Doug Breault. “And finally, congratulations to all the Boy Scouts who made it through the entire week. It sounds like you all had a blast. That is quite an accomplishment for all involved. We are all proud of you.”
