It's that time of year to purchase Class B clothing items for summer camp.  Although the store is open year-around, we do get most of our orders in the weeks leading up to summer camp.  This includes new first year scouts as well as scouts who may need a larger size or (heaven forbid) may have lost their clothing item on a campout!  Orders will be processed according to the following schedule:

We are running one Chief Pontiac Trail canoe trek this year.  It will be midday Saturday Aug12 - midday Sunday Aug13.  

It is a mix of backpacking and canoeing and everyone that did it last year had a great time!  We also ate like kings with salmon, garlic bread and brats (this year's menu is TBD).

To all Scouts and Scouters:

We received the following letter from a member of the church that charters our Troop.  This is a great oppotunity to earn service hours and give back to our church.

Many of the recent first year Scouts are looking for Boy Scout uniform pieces but the Troop's "Scout Closet" is somewhat bare.  

Parents of Experienced Scouts, please search through your closets and bring in uninform pieces that don't fit your Scout anymore -- we can pass them down to the newer Scouts and help clear some closet space for you!   Please bring the clothes to a Troop meeting and we'll get them to Mrs. Gabriella Duhn, who is running the Scout Closet.

The Boy Scouts' National Youth Leadership Training is a superb week-long training course for 13-18 year olds.

It covers leadership, teamwork skills, communication, problem solving and many other leadership and life skills.  Together with the opportunities in the Troop to use these skills, it is a unique opportunity for your sons!  Tim Chalom, Collin Kittrell, Ethan Galdikas and others from our Troop have done this course and found it highly beneficial.
