Members of the troop (and a Cub Scout from Pack 4104) met at McCormick park last week to do some community service. Trash was picked up around the playground, park, and skate areas. A shopping cart that came off the side of Orange street was the winner of largest and heaviest found item. Thanks to all the scouts and leaders that helped!

Every year, the nation comes together to honor the first responder, civilian and military lives lost on 9/11. NBC Montana’s Laney Napoli attended Missoula’s ann

The troop spent a fun week+ traveling and enjoying summer camp at Camp Many Point, MN. Our first night was camping in Theodore Rosevelt National Park outside of Medora, ND in 100 degree temperatures. Camp Many Point celebrated their 80th year anniversary this year. Eric Henderson was on staff for many years and helped plan a fun and successful week back in the old stomping grounds. Highlights were fishing, aqua trampoline, shot gun shooting, 4-wheelers, greased watermelon, outposts to the treehouse, and Huck Finn sleeping out on the lake. The humidity was new to many scouts. We were able to see the headwaters of the Missouri River as well as the headwaters of the Mississippi. Many merit badges were earned, friendships made, and skills were improved. Thanks to all the leaders and parents that made this possible!

Four intrepid scouts embarked on an epic 5 day 107 mile journey down the Missouri River. They encountered scenery, hikes, homestead ruins, rattlesnakes, and a whole lot of laughter and memories.

Members of the troop enjoyed a nice hike in the Trapper Peak area up the Bitterroot valley over the weekend. Led by leaders Jon and Eric, great experiences and views of the area were captured. Cold water and hungry mosquitoes were part of the trek.

The troop had a fun spring Court of Honor on Tuesday, followed by a successful fundraiser on Saturday. A big Thank You to Lisa Black for her help in planning and organizing this. She was able to drum up lots of community support for donations. Members of the Missoula Moose Lodge 556 were very helpful in donating and supporting our event. Our Charter, First Christian Church, is always helpful in providing a great location and support to our youth. A big Thank You to the troop families for items and food, and to the Missoula community for their support! It all was appreciated!

This past week the scouts worked on preparing wooden boxes to be used at the Veterans Cemetery during their Memorial Day event. The boxes were sanded and assembled to hold the cremains of veterans that served our country. Troop 1911 remembers and is grateful for all the men and women that have given so much to our country and freedom. As a troop, we have had many great leaders who promoted scouting values and have helped many boys develop until strong young men.

"And now, may the Great Master of all Scouts be with us until we meet again."

Congratulations to Knox from Troop 1911 in Montana as the winner of the Many Point 80th Anniversary Design Contest!

Among entries from Scouts across the country, Knox’s design was selected to represent 80 years of adventure, leadership, friendship, and memories at Many Point Scout Camp.

Thank you to every Scout who submitted artwork, shared ideas, and participated in the voting process. The creativity, camp spirit, and excitement behind this contest made it something truly special.

Knox’s winning design will be featured as part of the 80th Anniversary celebration throughout 2026.

Congratulations again, Knox, and thank you for helping tell the story of Many Point’s past, present, and future.

Troop 1911 enjoyed a great weekend with Troops 1114, 1115 and 1919. We combined to have a very productive Trail to First Class. We camped at the beautiful Featherstone Ranch outside of Florence on the Bitterroot River.

Saturday marked the return of the "Big Bird Breakfast" as Eric Henderson was able to procure an ostrich and emu egg, combined with some geese and chicken eggs from Ernst's flock. During the day, the older scouts from all troops were able to share some knowledge with the younger scouts to get rank requirements signed off. The lashings were top notch and the tower had never looked so good (or straight). All the victims requiring first aid survived. Totin' chip and firem'n chit were completed.

Older scouts helped Eric assemble a sweat lodge and put it to use.

"Patrol Name" or was it the "Name" patrol won the dessert competition with their dutch oven donuts. Most of the comments at the end of the camp revolved around how good the food was this time.

Thanks to all the scout leaders that helped to make this possible!
