Weekend programming off to a tremendous start! Fall weather, scouts in camp, and more. A shoutout to the Great Blue Hills district for the fall kickoff "Adventure Weekend" here as well!

We have more program weekends October 17th and 24th, and November 7th and 14th. We'd love to see you here!

Big brother looking for help this weekend!

🐄 The cows are coming… and they’ve informed us they expect their accommodations to be ready on time.

This Saturday we’re getting the pasture ready for our four-legged seasonal employees, and we could use a few extra hands.

The to-do list includes:
🔨 Driving step-in fence posts
🧵 Running reels of electric fence
🌱 Setting up paddocks
💧 Laying out the water system
🌿 Clearing fence lines
…and whatever other “five-minute jobs” somehow turn into thirty-minute adventures.

No experience is necessary. If you know which end of a fence post goes in the ground, you’re already ahead of some of us.

Come out for an hour or stay all day—every bit of help gets us one step closer to welcoming the cows. Besides, it’s a lot more fun to build the fence before the cows arrive than after they’ve decided to redesign it.

If you’re available Saturday, send us a message or comment below. We’d love the help!

The cows thank you in advance… although they’ll probably still act like they did all the work. 🐄

Today Base Camp attended Pack 165 to bring base camp to them! Today’s programming was in part because of their great recruitment efforts in the fall. Digging for bugs AND Gaga ball for a fun evening!
