When People Ride Bikes, Good Things Happen

"Is not only about living life more, but it is also about helping others who are less fortunate" Cycling in particular can be enjoyed as a lifelong activity that supports a healthy lifestyle. The 331 Crew offers unprecedented representation in cycling development activities.

Camp Manatoc Cycling Merit Badge Program

Cycling Merit Badge: the 331 crew has raised over $5000 for the Boyscout program at Camp Manatoc. The main focus is to help the Boy Scouts earn their cycling merit badge while working with cycling safety and promoting the sport of cycling and healthy life style. In 2008 a new skills area was developed to help the campers with basic off road cycling techniques and a new 1 mile trail was built around the cycling class room so the scouts can apply the techniques learned in the skills area.
