Reel fun at Winter Blast! 🐟

Success on the water! A Scout working on the Fishing Merit Badge landed a bass at Lake Loyal, turning skill, patience, and a little luck into a big smile and a great camp memory.

Moments like this are what make Scout camp at its finest—hands-on learning, outdoor adventure, and unforgettable experiences at Winter Blast!

Scouts are diving into the Indian Lore Merit Badge, exploring history, culture, and storytelling—all while staying warm in their Winter Blast fleece featuring Gerald the Flamingo! Learning never stops, and neither does the fun, even in cooler weather.

From meaningful conversations to memorable camp style, this is Scout camp at its finest—where knowledge, pride, and personality shine at Winter Blast!
