Hi Trail Life Bozeman,

With the upcoming Lego Derby I wanted to update you on our December Hit the Trail Event. We will be doing a lock-in style event on December 5-6th (with a bedtime) at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Belgrade to build Lego Derby Cars, work on skills such as cooking along with some fun and games. The troop has purchased some kits that your child can use to build their own lego derby car. If you would like your child to keep their own kit they are $15. If your child needs any legos please reach out to the troop. We will plan to meet at the church at 4:30 pm. The event will end at 1130 Saturday. Troop rules will apply for Dad's staying with their child if they are under age. You can RSVP at https://www.TrailLifeConnect.com/event/eturfzawamwi

January 23-24th is the Lego Derby in Idaho Falls. We will be staying overnight at a church there. Details to come at a later date. RSVP at https://www.TrailLifeConnect.com/event/etktaxb9xttx

Hi everyone, we are excited to go on our second campout of the new year for Troop 0210 Friday, November 7th! It will be a one-night campout at Trapper Springs Recreation Area between Four Corners and Norris, MT. The campsite will be a “drive-in”, so no need to prepare as if it were a backpacking trip.

Please RSVP at https://www.TrailLifeConnect.com/event/etjdjpfahsda as to whether you will come or not; it greatly helps us prepare!

Please ensure your son packs the following mandatory items: a tent, sleeping bag, warm clothes (including a coat), flashlight, snacks, water bottle. If you’re lacking any of this equipment but would still like to attend, please don’t let that stop you! Simply let us know what you may be missing and we can loan out any equipment you may need.

If you have a pocket knife, please bring it. IMPORTANT: Remind your Trailman to NOT take it out until instructed to by a leader

Please remember that Hawk level and below (boys age 8 and under) are required to have their dad join in order to attend.

The troop will bring food for dinner on Friday and breakfast on Saturday morning and additional snacks in case anyone runs out. Please send $25 with your son to cover the cost of food, or Venmo $25 to .

We will depart from the Cenex in Four Corners at 4:00 pm on Friday, and aim to be back about noon on Saturday.

If there are any change of plans along the way, such as if we are running late, heading home early due to weather, etc., we will post updates to our public Whatsapp channel. Register here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HAzEbRnw2IPJFvUTUnaI9c

Boys are getting a tough break. Everywhere a boy goes he's told to sit still, be quiet, and behave like the girls. But, properly channeled and intentionally challenged—the exuberance, drive, and daring of healthy boys is exactly what's right with society.
