Camp Planning Monday & Upcoming Camps

Hello Troop 1!

We have several camps planned for the next few months.

October 4-6: Back-to-the-Woods Camp, Rum River Scout Camp

It's not too late to register! This is an unstructured weekend camp at Rum River. Outdoor sleeping and cooking, advancement, and general fun. With a little luck, Scouts can work on Golf merit badge on the camp disc golf course (assuming my Golf counselor approval comes in time!) We're planning the menu at Monday's meeting. If you are going to camp and need to plan camp menus for advancement, this is your chance!

November: Merit Badge Camp - date and location TBD

Planning on either Nov 1-3 or 8-10, pending Patrol Leader's Council approval. Stay tuned for this one: We hope to offer some of the Citizenship merit badges, with alternate offerings for Scouts who have completed the Citizenship badges. If you have not provided your input on which badges we should consider, please fill out the form!

December 6-8: Board Game Camp, Stearns Scout Camp

A full weekend of your favorite board and tabletop games, in Tonkawa Lodge - the newest and fanciest Scout lodge in Minnesota. Bring your favorite games to share, and try games you've never played before. If you haven't been to Board Game Camp before, you don't want to miss it.

January: Snow Base - date TBD, Tomahawk Scout Camp

Council registration for Snow Base opens on October 1. We currently have 16 people who intend to go - that's an awesome group! If you'd like to join us, sleep in the snow, and generally have some winter fun, register now! If need be, we can send two crews on alternate weekends.

Last but not least - don't forget SKI CAMP in February! More details to come.
