Another great weekend at one of our favorite annual campouts along the Colorado River, north of Dotsero!

Saturday we tackled one of Colorado's most epic hikes to Hanging Lake, followed by a soak at Glenwood Hot Springs to warm up before a chilly evening in the mid-20s. Sunday breakfast brought another chance to expand our protein horizons with some dried crickets, which the Scouts gamely tried (and picked through)!

We also received an anonymous visit from the Scout Fairy, who left behind a gift of some much-appreciated desserts. We have our suspicions about the identity of our generous visitor!

Great adventures, questionable breakfast choices, and a little Scout magic. Another one for the books!

65th Anniversary Court of Honor

At this court of honor, we celebrated our troop's 65th anniversary, America's 250th anniversary, and Colorado's 150th anniversary. At this court of honor, Scouts earned many merit badges, ranks, and other awards, like the Polar Penguin Plunge, which is an award you get by swimming in freezing water below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. We also used the Troop 166 teepee (vintage 1973) to celebrate all the Eagle Scouts in Troop 166....

Weekend Update: Our Scouts are at Fall Camporee, themed "Past, Present and Future." They're joined by our Arrow of Light Cubs, who will be crossing over to join the troop in the not-too-distant future, and the Scouts are teaching them some cooking skills. This morning, Scouts completed two merit badges, Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence, and they spent the afternoon at the shooting sports ranges and the gaga ball pit.

Summer Camp – McNeil Scout Ranch

During July, Troop 166 went to Scout Camp at Chris Dobbins, McNeil Scout Ranch at Peaceful Valley, where we worked to earn merit badges, learned scouting skills and had fun. The first big moment was on Tuesday when 6 scouts from our troop went on an overnight trip to take Astronomy, Exploration, and Cooking. We slept on the cold ground with only a sleeping bag and tarp....

McNeil Scout Ranch Campout

Some of the activities we did during the campout included, digging a hole, exploring crevices, playing basketball, nearly getting trampled by deer, working on rank requirements, and eating Nutella. During the campout we took a short hike to some crevices where we played hide and seek and since there were many holes we nearly got lost. When we came back, the new scouts worked to earn their totin' chips and earned scout rank....
