Coin Collecting MB | Service Hours | Upcoming Camps

Hey Troop 1!

Coin Collecting Merit Badge: Thanks to Bob Finnerty for volunteering to lead this. If you are interested, please fill out the form below and review the requirements.

Service Hours opportunity - Saturday October 21. Nokomis East Neighborhood Association is holding a neighborhood trash cleanup. If you can help, meet at Keewaydin Rec Center at 9:45 on the 21st. We'll be picking up trash from 10-12. It's a bit cold for your Class Bs, but a Scout hat or sweatshirt can help our neighbors know that we are there as a group representing Troop 1. Wear work gloves, be prepared for the weather!

Upcoming Camps:

November 10-12: Fall "Back to the Woods" Camp, Stearns (Deckenbach Lodge). This is an unstructured camp. We'll try to plan a service project while on site, but the rest is up to you. Deckenbach does not have kitchen facilities, so we'll be cooking outside (and sleeping outside is strongly encouraged). Bring your Scout book, we'll have plenty of chances for advancement work.

December 8-10: Board Game Camp, Stearns (Tonkawa). A full weekend of your favorite board and tabletop games, in the newest and fanciest Scout lodge in Minnesota? Count me in! Bring your favorite games to share, and try games you've never played before. Whether it takes 5 minutes or 5 hours to play, we've got time!

Snow Base: Registration opened October 1, and spots will fill up. We'll be talking about this at the October 23rd Troop meeting to gauge interest and plan out a potential trip in January. Winter camping is awesome - just ask the crew that went last year!
