Boy Scout Advancement Updates

Congratulations to everyone who worked hard to finish their rank before the end of 2016! All scouts have been moved to the new requirements - any of the old they had completed were mapped to the new ones.

Winter Blast
January 14, 2017

It’s the Cub Scout Winter Blast! But wait... We’re a Boy Scout Troop?

We’re going to run a program area and teach the Cub Scouts. Earn service hours and help Cub Scouts earn an Adventure for their rank advancement.

Sign up at a Troop Meeting!

Winter Cabin Camp
January 27-29, 2017

A fun weekend of Indoor and Outdoor activities at Camp Long Lake. We’ll be staying in the Rotary Cabin. If you are interested in attempting a Polar Bear -- see Mr. Landquist as soon as possible.

Cost: $35 / Person

Remember... This is JANUARY -- bring warm clothing for outside, boots and shoes, and an extra pair of pants and socks to change into after outdoor fun. Sledding will be available (assuming there’s snow) but you MUST have a helmet (bike helmets are OK) per BSA rules.

Earn service and get to eat pancakes! The Boy Scouts provide service delivering seconds on pancakes, filling coffee carafes, and bussing tables.
