Welcome, good scout troops make good young men. When my son was in Scouts I was an asst. scoutmaster, and organized a week long trip each summer for the older boys, similar to what it sounds like you did. One year a canoe trip , the next a backpacking trip. The troop has continued these trips. My son , now a school teacher, still accompanies the troop on their canoe trips. He won his age class at the whitewater nationals once, so the scouts really look up to him on these trips, and as a middle school teacher he has a good handle on how to handle groups of kids (and have them learning at the same time).
Sounds like you were a good roll model for your scouts if they still want to hang out and do trips with you.
I'm in Granby CT about 4 miles south of the west central Mass border, grew up in Brookfield Mass.
