SIgnups (and regrets) for the Aug 21 lock-in are open, and we hear that Scouts ate looking forward to an evening of pizza, games, nerf guns, movies and such. It's an annual kickoff to the start of the school year, and Scouts told us in May they wanted to do this again. Please RSVP so that we know who is and is not coming! Parents, we will be looking to fill shifts so that we have registered parents here all night, so please you sign up as well!

Our schedule for this year's campouts and major activities is coming together. Here's what is confirmed right now. Watch for additional updates. Mark your calendar. Once you know, please RSVP with a yes or regrets, so campout owners know who to expect! Also, as a reminder, sign up for Calendar Sync to see troop activities within your chosen calendar program! 

Please fill out our Summer Camp 2027 Planning Survey! It's 5 questions, and your response would be much, much appreciated! Summer Camp seems like a long way off, but it is time to start planning! Registrations for Summer Camp 2027 have started opening. Families who need to fundraise to make this happen will want to know before popcorn sales start. So far, we have only heard back from 3 families about Summer Camp 2027. We really want to hear from everyone. There's space for Yes, No or Maybe, so don't be stopped if you aren't sure yet!

University of Scouting: Ready to elevate our Troop’s program? Attend the University of Scouting for an action-packed day of hands-on learning!
