Past Events

The scouts went on a tour of the Museum for the Aviation badge. They learned about different types of engines and the medical Helicopters.

The scouts went up to Maverick. It was a lot of fun! They split up into patrols and played some games. One station was tying knots. Then, they went to do a good turn by helping with the service project, which was clearing out the trees After a long day of work, they went back to a delicious meal with pie, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and a turkey cooked in a box. It is a tradition to cook a turkey in a box every Maverick.

This was an amazing campout. The scouts had so much fun swinging from tree to tree. Flag-X is a climbing course with zip lines, rope courses, and so much more. At Flag-X there are 5 different courses that connect to each other. Black is the hardest of them all and we had a lot of people finish it! After a long day in the trees, we went back to our campsite and relaxed and reflected on the amazing time we had

The National Jamboree is a country wide scouting event. Taking place at the Summit Betchel Reserve in West Virgnia every 4 years. The massive 10,600 acre reserve provides the average scout almost endless activities to fill their day. The biggest activities include: shooting sports, rock wall climbing, many kinds of aquatic activities, and ziplines. Scouts will also experience the summit apex and leadership heights programs.
Another huge part of Jamboree is patch trading, Scouts will receive patches that can be traded with other patches from different troops. This can provide an opportunity for scouts from all over America to get to know one another.
Though it may seem strenous on occasion, the National Jamboree will provide Scouts with memories to be cherished together forever.

The scouts got to go on a fun adventure geocaching. You are given coordinates to put into your phone or a device and you have to go find a container with stuff in it, if you have something you can take one of the items in it and put something else in. They also got to see the largest refractory telescope in at least north America. The Clark was once used by a team of scientists and artists to create detailed maps of the Moon’s surface for use on the Apollo moon mission. 

The scout’s recent adventure was a blast, full of cool stuff. They had a cooking contest that let us show off our cooking skills and hang out with other scouts. There were tons of badges to earn, like swimming, shooting sports, and horseback riding. There were so many activities to do like the ace of spades where you shoot two rifle bullets and try to get them as close as you can. They also pitched in to help fix the bridge we built before in the parking area. The scouts had so much fun and would do it again.

The Boy Scouts recently went on an exciting fishing trip to Black River. It was amazing as each scout caught their own fish, and in total, we caught around 25 fish! Everyone had the opportunity to reel in their own fish. After a successful day of fishing, we gathered around the campfire and enjoyed a delicious meal of freshly fried fish. It was such a fun-filled experience, filled with laughter, good food, and the joy of outdoor activities. The scouts had a blast on this fishing trip, creating lasting memories.

The Scout troop had an awesome boating adventure at Hover Dam in Arizona. On Saturday, we got to see the amazing dam and learn about first aid, which was really helpful. Then, on Sunday, we went kayaking down the Colorado River for 13 miles! We started at the very bottom of the dam. It was so cool to go into the hot springs along the way. But, we also learned about a scary thing called an amoeba that lives in the water and can eat your brain if you get it up your nose! So, we made sure to be careful and not let any water get up our noses. Overall, it was a really fun and educational trip.

The scout troop had a really cool car wash fundraiser! It was so much fun washing all kinds of different cars and trucks while the sun was shining bright. Everyone worked really hard, but they had a great time doing it. The best part was that they were able to raise some extra money for their future trips and campouts. Now they get to know that all their hard work will help make those trips happen.

The scouts went on a super cool backpacking trip in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona! They hiked about 6 miles total and it was pretty tiring, but they kept each other motivated and had a great time. They went to a creak and played in the water. It was super fun! They splashed around. The scouts did a great job managing the amount of weight they had in their pack. Everyone had a great time!
