Scouts BSA Troop 841, Federal Way & BSA Troop 330 Adventure Weekend

This past weekend, Troop 841 and Troop 330 headed to the beautiful 8-Mile Group Campground along Icicle Creek near Leavenworth for a weekend of camping, hiking, and adventure.

Scouts camped in their patrols, cooked their own meals, and enjoyed a weekend of independence, teamwork, and fun in the outdoors.

On Saturday, we split into two groups:

Our mountain hiking crew tackled the hike to 8 Mile Lake, covering 6.8 miles round-trip and gaining over 1,300 feet in elevation. The effort was rewarded with stunning mountain views and an unforgettable alpine lake.

The rest of the troop visited the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery, followed by a 2.5-mile hike through the local trails before spending the afternoon exploring downtown Leavenworth.

From mountain trails and rushing creeks to salmon, scenery, and small-town charm, it was an amazing weekend filled with adventure, friendship, and memories.

A huge thank you to all of the youth and adult leaders who helped make the trip a success.

This campground may have just become our new favorite. We'll definitely be back!

Warning: Photo dump ahead. 📸

This weekend included mountain hiking, creek crossings, patrol cooking, fish hatcheries, exploring Leavenworth, bicycle riding, campfire laughs, nighttime frisbee, and enough trail miles to earn a good night's sleep.

The best part? Watching Scouts challenge themselves, work together, and have fun outdoors.

Here's a look at everything we packed into one amazing weekend at Icicle Creek.

Troop 841 keeps growing! 🎉⚜️

Tonight we welcomed a new scout to the troop, bringing us to 16 scouts and officially enough youth to organize into 3 patrols!

That means more leadership opportunities, more teamwork, more campfire cooking competitions, and probably more debates about who forgot to pack the patrol dish soap. 😄

It’s exciting to watch our troop continue to grow and see new friendships and adventures forming every week. Welcome to the Troop 841 family — the adventure is just getting started!

Important Announcement 🚨🐻

Due to recent reports of high bear activity, the Wonderland Trail is currently closed.

While we fully support local wildlife enjoying the outdoors… we would prefer scouts NOT become part of the food chain. 😅

Stay safe out there, and happy hiking!

Due to unusual bear activity, the Wonderland Trail is temporarily closed between Narada Falls Trail and Stevens Canyon Road.

As a reminder, If you encounter a black bear:

- Stay calm and alert.
- Do not approach the bear. If the bear is just doing bear things, keep your distance and stand quietly.
- If the bear stops, watches you, or changes direction toward you, you’re too close.
- Back away slowly while facing the bear. Never run.

If a black bear approaches or follows you:

- Stand your ground. Do not run or turn your back.
- Shout and act aggressively to scare it off, and make yourself look big by raising your arms or lifting your trekking poles into the air.
- Throw non‑food objects (like rocks or sticks) at the bear only if necessary.
- Never feed a bear or leave food behind.
- Use bear spray only as a last resort and only if the bear is within 20 yards.

If a black bear attacks you:

-Fight back. Do not play dead.
